CAFÉ NICOLA
Museus e Espaços Culturais / Baixa
In Rossio, the facade of Nicola, designed by Norte Júnior, does not go unnoticed by those who calmly stroll by it, denouncing right away that it is a place with a lot to tell. Hailed as the most literary cafe in Lisbon, it was opened to the public in the 18th century by an Italian who named it "Botequim do Nicola". From then on, it began to be frequented by well-known writers, artists and politicians who visited it with such assiduity that they made it their second home. This was the case of the poet Bocage, to whom a statue was raised inside the space. Only in the 20th century was it baptized with the name that is familiar to us: Café Nicola. Today, it continues to be the stage, if not for the gatherings of once before, for certain styles of interests and ways of life, being an unavoidable landmark in the itinerary of anyone visiting the capital.
