SOCIAL PROGRAMME
Welcome Reception at the Lisboa City Hall
18 November (Tuesday) 18:30 – 20:00
In addition to its architectural and artistic value, the Paços do Concelho building, reflects the image of Lisbon
and Liberal, Regenerator and Republican Portugal. Important events of our history, such as the Proclamation
of the Republic on 5 October 1910, were deeply associated with this building.
After the 1755 earthquake, during the reconstruction carried out by the Marquis of Pombal, the Paços do
Concelho building was constructed where it is now. This architecture project authored by architect Eugénio
dos Santos Carvalho, was completely destroyed due to a fire on 19 November 1863.
A new building was constructed at the same location, between 1865 and 1880, and this work was carried out
on the basis of an architectural project of the former town council architect Domingues Parente da Silva. The
drawing of the façade trim was modified by a decision of Engineer Ressano Garcia, person-in-charge of the
Technical Services of the Town Hall, giving rise to the large classical front wall sculpture decoration by
French sculptor Anatole Calmels. Especially noteworthy is the intervention of architect José Luís Monteiro,
particularly in central staircase, as well as the rich pictorial decoration for which various artists were
responsible, of whom José Pereira Júnior (Pereira Cão), Columbano and Malhoa stand out. The whole
building therefore reveals a number of outstanding participants, both at architectural and constructive level,
showing high quality aesthetics and innovative elements.
Conference Banquet at Aura Restaurant
20 November (Thursday) 20:00 – 23:00
Aura is a distinctive restaurant on the emblematic Commerce Square in the heart of Lisbon. Featuring three
unique spaces, a beautiful terrace overlooking the commerce square and the Tagus River, a rustic yet chic
style dining room and an innovative lounge area. The menu is a fantastic creation from Chef Duarte Mathias
and the gourmet producer Fabrice Marescaux, giving Portuguese dishes a contemporary and original flair.
