Caixa Geral de Depòsito: la Catedral del Dinero

This is a Portuguese public bank founded in 1876, since 1993 it has assumed the operation of a universal bank, making purchases from banks in different countries, for example, Spain, South Africa, Mozambique, Cape Verde and the USA. The building in the photos is headquartered in Lisbon, it's a striking, spectacular building occupying an entire block. Based on feedback from locals its construction brought controversy. In front of this building is a miniature parking lot for bank workers and a small amphitheater for summer shows, all of course funded by the bank. You will also see some houses that contrast enough with the ostentatious construction opposite.
