Câmara Municipal do Porto - Porto, Portugal - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

[PT]
O actual edifício da Câmara Municipal do Porto, em Portugal, foi projectado pelo Arq. Correia da Silva e começou a ser construído em 1920.
O projecto surgiu na sequência do plano de expansão do centro cívico elaborado pelo arquitecto inglês Barry Parker, aprovado em 1916. A concretização deste plano levou à expansão para norte da Praça da Liberdade, abrindo-se a Avenida dos Aliados e a actual Praça do General Humberto Delgado.
Apesar de ter sido iniciado em 1920, as obras do edifício dos paços do concelho sofreram inúmeras interrupções, tendo sido introduzidas alterações ao projecto inicial, pelo Arq. Carlos Ramos. Os serviços camarários só se instalaram no novo edifício em 1957.
