It was in the distant year of 1912 that the centenary Livraria Académica, located at Rua Martires da Liberdade, opened its doors. Specializing in Portuguese-language authors, her wide selection covers a number of other important topics such as science, technical books and history. With prices for various possibilities, the Livraria Académica is a landmark in the city, receiving for many decades, always with the knowledge only possible by years of experience, a legion of lovers of literature, who will be lost in this historic space and will find inevitably, among their vast offerings, some book that appeals to them, whether they are rarities or options at very inviting prices.

The magazines are selected in order to focus mainly on interior design and architecture, and there are also music, business and lifestyle publications, as well as cookbooks. On the lower floor, there is the photography studio, for fashion and product productions. At the entrance, there is the showroom, with some design pieces on display. Preference is given to Portuguese pieces, although those from other countries are not set aside, as long as they meet sustainability requirements.

More than a bookstore, Poetria aims to be a “meeting point, for the exchange of information between people and books and for the dissemination of poetry and theater.”
