The ideal venue

for your company’s events
 The Centro Cultural de Belém, created by the architects
Vittorio Gregotti and Manuel Salgado, was designed to function
as an “open city”, consisting of buildings, streets, plazas and bridges.
Establishing a dialogue with the River Tagus and the monumental
Praça do Império, and flanked by the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
and an area of extensive gardens, the centre is a celebration
of culture, opening its intensive programme of activities
to all kinds of cultural events.
This cultural centre is regarded as a national and international
landmark, having become a micro-city of contemporary
monumentality. But it is also seen as the ideal venue, in Lisbon,
for holding congresses, conferences and all types of institutional
and corporate events. In fact, one of the three blocks from which
it is formed, the Conference Centre, which forms the façade
on the side of the Praça do Império, overlooking the Mosteiro
dos Jerónimos and the River Tagus, was designed specifically
for this purpose.
In this catalogue, you will find an illustrated description
of the two auditoriums and the 14 meeting rooms, as well

as the restaurants, bars, terraces, plazas and gardens that can

be made available for your use. We also present the CCB team,
specialising in the organisation and management of events,
who are also ready to plan, organise and produce all of your
company’s events.

Centro Cultural de Belém. It is designed to host all manner of artistic

area of 2 206 m2, measuring 76 m in length and 23 m in width.
