MUSEUTALKS

Memories of the St. Peter's Pool in Ponta Delgada

Santa Bárbara Center
Free participation

This edition of Museutalks invites audiences to revisit the memories of the former São Pedro Swimming Pool, a landmark site in Ponta Delgada now known as Pesqueiro. Once a vibrant setting for leisure, social interaction, and community life, the pool, also known as the Alcaçarias Baths, holds a special place in the city’s collective memory and remains a powerful symbol for generations of local residents.

Through the personal recollections of guests Urbano Resendes and Ana Amado, the conversation will explore the experiences, stories, and emotions connected to this unique space. Together, they will reflect on how the site has changed over time and on its significance in shaping both the urban landscape and the social fabric of the city.

More than a journey into the past, this Museutalks session offers an opportunity to consider broader questions surrounding memory, shared heritage, and the evolving meanings of public spaces. By bringing individual and collective memories into dialogue, the event seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the connections between place, identity, and community.
