English Club of Porto

The English Club of Porto is a historic 14th-century manorhouse located along Rua das Virtudes in the heart of Porto, Portugal. Originally serving as a house of repose for the Congregation of St. Bernard and later the residence of the Prosecutor-General of the Order of Malta, the building showcases a rich history intertwined with the city's heritage. Acquired by merchant José Alexandre Ferreira Brandão in 1834, it became the English Club in 1925. The architecture features a principal facade with a terrace offering stunning views of the Douro River, making it a notable site for tourists and researchers interested in Porto's cultural and architectural evolution.
