About us
Ex Libris is the Latin expression that literally means “from the Books of”.
The name of this building does not deny the tradition of this street, which connects Praça Luís de Camões to Largo Trindade Coelho, in Chiado, already communicating with the typical Bairro Alto.
Literary and journalistic activity has always been a strength of this artery and the Ex Libris building is proof of that, having been the headquarters of O Diário Ilustrado, closed in 1963, and home to Livraria Camões.
With an excellent location, this Building is in the center of the action, where there is always something going on. At any time you can go out and walk in Chiado or even go to Avenida da Liberdade where you will find the most luxurious shops, as well as discovering that you are within walking distance of the city’s trendy bars and restaurants.
