Maritime Centre of Esposende

This building, situated on the waterfront in the estuary of Cávado, was recently recovered by the Forum Esposendense, a public utility institution created in the year 1989 to promote the study of social, economic and cultural aspects of the municipality. The establishment has many activities: museum (exhibitions), auditorium, library maritime headquarters Forum and drafting of a local magazine. It also still provides maritime rescue services (which was actually its original function).
