For such a famously musical people, it is somewhat surprising to learn that when it opened in 2005 the Casa da Música was actually the first building in Portugal dedicated entirely to song.

The halls inside are even better, a gorgeous collections of buildings perfectly tailored to music and all its charms. Keep an eye on the website for upcoming events.
