The Rosa Mota pavilion is located on the site of the old Palácio de Cristal. It was constructed in 1960 and it is used as a sporting and cultural venue, for example events such as the Feira de Livro (Book Fair). Below the building there's a fantastic bar with a terrace integrated into the gardens, where doves mingle with the people. It really is worth visiting the Palácio de Cristal and if possible, checking out the various places from where the Douro river, the Arrábida bridge and the port wine cellars can be seen.
