A gravity-defying structure
The Portugal Pavilion is a striking building designed by Portugal's
Pritzker Award-winning architect Alvaro Siza Vieira.
Its remarkable sagging
concrete roof weighing 1,400 tonnes and measuring 50 by 67 meters (167 by
223 ft) is an instant attention-grabber, undulating like a sailcloth,
keeping the maritime theme of most of the district's architecture. The
building is currently empty but there are plans to turn it into an
architecture museum.
Oceanarium - An odyssey of sea creatures in a state-of-the-art building.
Oriente
Station - A stunning modern station.
Atlantic
Pavillion - A UFO-like arena.
Interactive

Vasco
da Gama Tower - The city's tallest building with a panoramic viewing platform.
