Fernando Pessoa lived, during the last 15 years of his life, in this building in Campo de Ourique, which is today totally dedicated to literature and poetry. Here we can find some of the poet’s collection, such as the books from his private library and some personal
objects.
Casa Fernando Pessoa organises and holds sessions on literature, organises book presentations, conferences and readings, as well as artistic meetings, indoors and out. The educational project encourages the knowledge and discovery of Pessoa’s life and works in conjunction with schools and other groups, developing workshops for different ages, which focus on the poet’s multiple dimensions. It also offers guided tours, theme visits and activities for school holidays.
The renovation of Casa Fernando Pessoa (between 2019 and 2020), designed by José Adrião Arquitetos, received an honourable mention from the 2020 Valmor Architecture Prize.
