Lello Bookshop - Portugal

Hey, it's Friday and time for pretty buildings. Outrageously pretty buildings. Outrageously pretty buildings will AMAZING staircases.  And books. So, pretty building plus amazing staircase plus books equals a +1 for me.

Behold the Lello Bookshop in Porto, Portugal. Famous worldwide as one of the most beautiful bookstores on the planet. Built in 1906 and home to a staircase that is full of awesome.

Oh, stained glass roof. Added bonus points. Website (in Portuguese, duh!)
