From church to museum. A conversation with Eugénio Gaspar | Podcast “E se o dinheiro falasse?”
Do you know the history of the old church that was once a vault?
In 2007 the Banco de Portugal decided to do some renovation and conservation work to the building that holds its headquarters, including the former church of São Julião. It was necessary to reinforce the building’s structure, make it safer and more functional. But there was another objective: the Money Museum.
This was an important architectural and engineering project, transforming the block and putting the Museum on Lisbon’s tourist trail.
To help us learn more about the conservation and restoration of the former church of São Julião, we invited Eugénio Gaspar, current Chairman of Valora's Board of Directors, who at the time was Director of the Administration Services Department, the department responsible for the project.
“E se o dinheiro falasse?” is available in Portuguese only, on the Money Museum website and on the following players:
