About

The Marques da Silva Foundation, in this joint effort to contain the pandemic, temporarily suspended visits to the exhibition spaces. The Online Store remains open and ready to send to you the books available.


The Fundação Marques da Silva, established by the University of Porto from the legacy of José Marques da Silva's heirs, one of the most outstanding architects from Porto, has as its mission the study and dissemination of architectural culture and heritage.

Over the last few years, by assembling collections of other architects, it has been gathering a comprehensive document heritage of great relevance to the knowledge and characterisation of the architecture developed in Portugal between the late 19th century and the first decades of the 21st century.

Names of important figures of Portuguese architecture, such as Fernando Távora, José Carlos Loureiro, Alcino Soutinho, Octávio Lixa Filgueiras, Alfredo Matos Ferreira, José Porto, Raúl Hestnes Ferreira, Fernando Lanhas and Bartolomeu Costa Cabral, are represented here.
