Designed by Marques da Silva, it is recognized as a building of public interest. Its primary goals are to create and present theatre shows of various genres and to promote greater public access to specialist, classic, and contemporary theatre works, covering both national and international drama repertoires. The building also connects the Carlos Alberto Theatre to the São Bento da Vitória monastery.
• Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral) - Dating back to the 12th/13th century, this Romanesque-style cathedral has been expanded and renovated over the years, culminating in a reimagined medieval cathedral in the 20th century. Notable features include the Gothic São João Evangelista Chapel and the 14th-century cloister; the expanded main chapel, the Santíssimo Sacramento Chapel with its silver altar from the 18th century (mannerist); the 18th-century Baroque frescoes in the main chapel and sacristy by Nicolau Nasoni, and the cloister tiles by Vital Rifarto; and the 19th-century sculpture in the Baptism Chapel by Teixeira Lopes (father).

This polygonal building has four façades, two of which relate to its main functions: the main façade on Rua de São Bento da Vitória provides access to the Court sector, while the other façade, facing the Cordoaria Garden, was originally for prisoner passage and is now the main entrance. Notable inmates included Camilo Castelo Branco, a famous Portuguese writer charged with adultery, and Zé do Telhado, charged with theft.

The garden features statues of Ramalho Ortigão and António Nobre, a set of sculptures by Juan Muñoz from 2001, and “O rapto de Ganímedes” (Kidnapping of Ganímedes).

The bridge is 395 meters long and 8 meters wide, with an arch still considered the world’s largest in forged iron. Today, the upper deck is used by the Porto Metro, connecting Porto’s Cathedral area to the Garden of Morro and Avenida da República in Vila Nova de Gaia.
• Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar - A World Cultural Heritage site, construction began in 1538 and concluded around 1670. Initially created to house the Augustinian Friars of the Monastery of Grijó, it later served as a base for the liberal army during the Civil War of 1832-1834. The war and constant attacks left it in disrepair until 1834, when the Royal Brotherhood of Lady of the Pilar and later the Group of Friends of the Monastery of Serra do Pilar, in 1925, restored the building. The church, with a circular plan, has a dome surrounded by a balcony; the cloister is also circular, with 36 Ionic columns, the only example in Portugal. From its grand terrace, one can view the entire riverside area of Porto and Gaia up to the Arrábida Bridge, and the historic center, highlighting the Cathedral and D. Luís I bridge. In the opposite direction, one can see the Fontainhas area and the São João bridge.
• Ponte Infante Dom Henrique - Inaugurated on March 30, 2003, following a project by engineer Adão da Fonseca, it was built to replace the upper deck lane of the D. Luís I Bridge, now used by metro line D. With a 371-meter-long and 20-meter-wide deck, it is a Maillart-type arch bridge, built at a high altitude, with a span-rise ratio of 11.2 and a 280-meter arch span—a world record. It is considered one of the most elegant of its type by world experts. It connects the Fontaínhas area to the Parish of Oliveira do Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Restoration and adaptation works were carried out according to architect Eduardo Souto Moura’s project.
