Porto Leixões Cruise Terminal
LocationParedes, Portugal
PhotographerAntonio Coelho
It´s located in Matosinhos, Portugal, is a striking architectural landmark designed by Luís Pedro Silva and inaugurated in 2015. Its dynamic, spiraling form features a helical ramp and curved white façade, inspired by the jetty's curve, creating a sculptural presence against the Atlantic backdrop. The building houses a cruise terminal, marina facilities, event spaces, a restaurant, and the University of Porto's CIIMAR marine research center. The central atrium, with its quadruple-height space, enhances natural light and spatial fluidity. It blends functionality with iconic design.
