The space regularly hosts community events and gatherings, serving as a point of union and cultural and social revitalization for the community.

Memory and Local Identity

The recent renovation of the auditorium was conceived as a tribute to Amora's rich history, with a particular focus on its industrial heritage. Materials such as cork, glass, and wood, which played a central role in local industries, were integrated into its design, creating a visual and symbolic link to the parish's past. One of the entrance walls features an excerpt from the lyrics of the march "A Minha Terra" (My Land), an iconic community song that recalls the contribution of workers in the formation of local associations, imbuing the space with a profound dimension of collective memory and identity.

The ambiance of the auditorium results from a careful fusion of modern aesthetics and elements with historical significance. The choice of materials, in addition to evoking the industries that marked Amora, contributes to an inviting visual environment. Beyond aesthetic considerations, the space has been updated with contemporary technology, ensuring that the various activities held there benefit from all necessary conditions for a pleasant and effective experience.
