Casa Museu Fernando de Castro

Born in 1889 into a family of wealthy merchants, Fernando de Castro inherited a partnership from his father in a commercial company, with shops and offices in several parts of Porto.

He dedicated himself to writing and drawing, producing a vast number of cartoons and caricatures.

De Castro was also an eager collector and lover of art, managing to gather several national and international pieces spanning from the 17th to the 20th century.

The interior is finely elaborated and decorated in baroque style, with extensive use of gilded woodcarving resembling that in the majority of churches of the city.

[3] It contains several sacred art statues and ceramics of Rafael Bordalo and Teixeira Lopes.
