Livraria Lello

Built in neo-Gothic style, the Bookshop has a magnificent façade, formed by a wide depressed arch, whose entrance is divided into a central door, flanked by two shop windows. Over this arch there is a triple window. On the sides of the window, two painted figures stand out, by José Bielman, symbolizing Art and Science. Note the tracery that tops the entire building. At the entrance, in the center of the vast room, an ornamental staircase gives access to an upper level, where some tables serve as support for the exhibition of books. Wooden benches, covered in leather, and shelves that cover the walls make up the main space of the bookstore.
