Granite Quarry vs. Football Stadium
29th Sep 2011
Braga’s Municipal Stadium is situated in an old granite quarry in Monte Castro, city of Braga in the north of Portugal. This stadium is considered one of the most beautiful in the world and also a success case in the redevelopment of an inactive quarry.
Worth a visit!

Locality Updated: Carson Mine (Bouvier Mine), Mariposa Co., California, USAFrom Chester S. Lemanski, Jr., 22nd May 2013 15:27:48
Only one little correction: the quarry which inspired the architect Eduardo Souto Moura is not the place were the stadium is located. The space were the stadium was built was "created" on the hillside, "destroying" the very small (about 100 square meters) on the process. This was told by the project manager in a presentation some months after the conclusion of the construction.
Keep on coming the excellent reviews on portuguese places.
Cheers, Luís.
