How to visit
Livraria Lello

To mark its 120th anniversary, Livraria Lello presents an artistic installation in its shop windows that translates, in form and material, its vision of culture as a force for transformation in the region.

Inspired by Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities and the famous passage in which Marco Polo replies to Kublai Khan that ‘it is not the stones that support the bridge, but the arch they form’, the installation offers a symbolic interpretation of Livraria Lello's own history.
