Description

Livraria Lello is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Many people think that this somptuous bookshop inspired the Harry Potter’s library in Hogwarts. In fact, J.K Rowling lived in Porto teaching English in the early 1990s.The store has an excellent neo-gothic façade, where you can see two figures painted by José Bielman, representing the Science and the Art. This facade is only surpassed by its stunning interior, designed by Xavier Esteves.The building was inaugurated on January 13th, 1906, in an important social event for both Portuguese and Brazilian societies.
