Palácio da Bolsa
On the west side of the Praça do Infante Dom Henrique, occupying the site of a Franciscan convent which was destroyed by fire, is the Stock Exchange, the Palácio da Bolsa, built in 1842 and headquarters of Oporto's Chamber of Commerce. A modern glass building also stands where the convent cloisters once stood. The interior of the building can be visited on weekdays (guide compulsory), and the Moorish Hall, used for official receptions, is particularly worth seeing.
