Foundation

The 18th-century building, which brings together tradition and contemporaneity, was Amália’s home for 44 years and remains exactly as she left it. Guided tours bring to life the memories of this irreverent, unique, and sensitive woman, who conquered major international stages and the affection of her country. From the living room with its 19th-century azulejo paneling, through the Portuguese contemporary art pieces in the suite, to the typical 1950s kitchen, visiting Amália’s house is also a journey through the history of Portugal.

The Amália Rodrigues Foundation, established by will in 1997 and founded on December 10, 1999, with its headquarters at Rua de São Bento, nº 193, aims to establish itself as a cultural and social institution recognized nationwide for its work in preserving, studying, and promoting the life and work of Amália Rodrigues. The Amália Rodrigues Foundation is dedicated to the study of Amália Rodrigues’s life and legacy, promoting the preservation of its collections, the organization of exhibitions, cultural events, and research projects, as well as meetings focused on the artist’s figure and work, thereby strengthening the dissemination of her legacy among diverse audiences. The Foundation is also the owner and manager of the “Amália Rodrigues” brand.
