Sunlight streams through the octagonal glass dome of Palácio da Bolsa's Pátio das Nações (Nations' Courtyard), illuminating its intricate geometric marble floor while visitors wander beneath ornate pink marble columns and gilded balconies. This magnificent atrium, completed in 1850 as part of Porto's former stock exchange, embodies Portuguese economic ambition during a period of commercial resurgence, its elaborate neoclassical design and heraldic emblems representing the nations with which Portugal maintained trade relations during the 19th century.
