Porto - Coliseu do Porto

With around 250,000 inhabitants, Porto is the largest city in the north of Portugal. More than 1.7 million people live in the "Greater Porto area", the metropolitan region.

The historic centre of Porto was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Port wine is named after Porto because the wineries of Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank of the Douro River are the centres for packaging, transporting and exporting the fortified wine.

I have uploaded many photos from previous visits.
So I will limit myself and only upload a few.

After an older concert hall had been demolished, the erection of the "Coliseu do Porto" started in 1938. The new building opened in December 1941. In 1971 the old concert hall was transformed into a cinema. After a fire had destroyed the stage and principal hall, the venue was reopned end of 1996.
