Quinta da Conceição Swimming Pool is a work by Arq. Álvaro Siza Vieira and was inaugurated in 1965, and is located in Quinta da Conceição, a public park located in the parish of Leça da Palmeira, municipality of Matosinhos, district of Porto.
Initially, the site was the premises of the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Conceição of the Order of São Francisco, which arrived there in 1481; today, the former convent cloister, some fountains, a Manueline style portal and the chapel of São Francisco are still visible.
In the 60s, the Quinta underwent important improvements coordinated by Fernando Távora, renowned architect of the sec. XX, where the tennis pavilion and the swimming pool stand out.
In addition to the pool, the space has changing rooms and changing rooms and a bar/lounge.
Due to the pandemic caused by COVID 19, the Quinta da Conceição Swimming Pool reopened in 2021, as in 2020, presenting new rules for use, in accordance with the recommendations of the General Directorate of Health and for as long as they remain.
