Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda

Príncipe Real · Monuments & Historic Buildings

Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda is located at Rua da Escola Politécnica, 137, in Lisbon. The street number is mentioned as 135. The location has historically been the site of the Soares e Noronha mansion, a 16th century building. In 1769 this building was converted to house the Royal Printing Office. The property extended all the way to Largo do Rato and was made up of three joined, rectangular volumes. A new building was constructed to house the Official Printing Office. The final design and construction was completed in 1913. The new building was made up of four connected volumes, and a central annex. The fa ade features Pombaline elements, including a rounded, pedimented doorway. As far as transportation is concerned, the Triennale mentions Rato subway, and buses 720, 727, 738, 758 and 773. The INCM shop webpage mentions bus 58 and the Rato subway for this location and provides a GPS position (N 38º 43' 4.45" W 9º 9' 6.62"). The Triennale cautions not to take photographs. It mentions Santos, Príncipe Real, and Campo de Ourique as events and suggests Faria Palace, MUHNAC and UNI Cocktail Bar as other locations. The bookstore, Lisboa Príncipe Real, is temporarily closed because of construction work. Meanwhile, INCM has a branch at Rua D. Filipa de Vilhena 12, 12A, open from 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. The branch at Escola Politecnica gives customers weekday hours from 9 am to 5 pm, and can be reached by phone at 217 810 870 or by email at livraria.r.escola@incm.pt.
