Website | EmailAn extensive library completed in 1887 with more than 350,000 volumes, among them a rare 1572 edition of Luís de Camões's "Os Lusíadas." Located across from the Igreja de São Francisco de Paula, the entire collection is devoted to Portuguese literature. Most interesting is the reading room itself, which is naturally lit by a red, white and blue stained-glass skylamp.
