About the Place
Built in 1941, during the Portuguese dictatorship, the Casa da Moeda is located on the Parisian-inspired grid of avenues, occupying an entire block without compromising its architectural coherence. It is made up of two functionally different bodies (administration and workshops) with internal communication between them. This is a beautiful example of Jorge Segurado’s architecture, in which essays on the modernist lexicon are multiplied down to the last detail. The rhythmic facades, with a series of half-square pillars, the beautiful green tile cladding and the details of the main entrance are all memorable. It was declared a Monument of Public Interest in 2012.
