Piscina das Marés
Leça da Palmeira, Portugal, Portugal
Piscina das Marés in Leça da Palmeira is a celebrated saltwater swimming complex built into the rocky Atlantic coastline just north of Porto, Portugal.
Designed by the renowned architect Álvaro Siza Vieira and opened in 1966, it consists of two seawater‑filled tidal pools—one for adults and one for children—carefully carved into the rocks so that the ocean feeds them while protective walls keep out the rougher waves.
The pool is a seasonal facility, usually open only in summer months, and is both a popular public swimming spot and a National Monument, praised for its elegant integration of modern architecture with the natural seashore.
