National Bank of Angola Building
Banco Nacional de Angola
A pink colonial-style building on the Marginal, with a dome and tile decoration. It is the most popular building for photographs.
The headquarters of the National Bank of Angola was built in 1956 and is a representative building of the late Portuguese colonial era. It has pink exterior walls, a green dome and white columns. Its outer galleries are lined with blue-and-white tile panels depicting Angolan history, and the building faces the Marginal and the bay. It looks especially lovely when lit up at night. The interior is closed to visitors, so photos are limited to the exterior. As a financial institution it is guarded by armed security, so avoid photographing security personnel and do not linger at the entrance.
