This spectacular stadium in Braga, Portugal, was a venue for the European soccer championships when it was completed in 2004. Nearly one and a half million cubic yards of granite were blasted from the site and crushed to make concrete for the stadium. Precise explosions of a mountain side created a hundred foot high granite face that terminates one end of the stadium. It was designed by the 2011 Pritzker Prize winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura.
