Estádio Municipal de Braga
Designed by the Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto Moura (Pritzker Prize 2011) and the Portuguese engineer Rui Furtado (from the afaconsult company), the Estádio Municipal de Braga, is inserted next to the urban park located on the slope of Monte Castro, on the outskirts of the urban area of Braga , facing the valley of the River Cávado. The stadium is currently used by Sporting Clube de Braga.
Parque Norte R. de Montecastro, 4700-087
Braga
Description
The stadium has a capacity of 30,286 seats with only two side benches, the tops of the stadium being made up of rock amphitheaters on the hillside. The cover takes as a stylistic reference "the bridges built by the Inca civilization" in Peru, in order to illuminate the lawn with natural light, thus preserving the natural quality of the lawn.
This architectural and civil engineering work was awarded the Secil Prize in 2004 (Category Architecture), and in 2005 (Category Civil Engineering), a prize that distinguishes every two years and every two years, the most significant architectural and engineering works carried out during that period. The Financial Times, in an article on British stadiums, mentions the Stadium as one of four examples of beautiful grounds.
