SMT7
(Sto Ildefonso) - Into the Heart of Porto
Although,
from an historical point of view, Sto Ildefonso is not situated in
the so called Historical Centre, it´s actually in a way the “heart”
of the commercial and social centre of the “modern” Porto, with
some of the most significant buildings and trade streets situated in
its area. Besides of that, or precisely because of that, some
extremelly important events took place in its streets, we will travel
through some of them.
find more about:
What
happened to the previous “Town Hall” building? Who where the
“Mártires da Liberdade”? Why Bolhão market is called Bolhão
market? Why Batalha Square is called “Batalha Square” and what
batles are we talking about … among many other relevant aspects of
Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
Meeting
point for Into SMT7 (Sto Ildefonso) - Into the Heart of
Porto
In front of Sto Ildefonso
Church, at Batalha Square

SMT
MTS (Matosinhos) - A
Land of Fishermen and Sailors
Matosinhos
is a city since ever deeply connected to the sea. Known for its very
authentic fishermen community, it´s a place with a lot to see and to
get to know besides the coast and the beach it self. It´s still
surprising how such an interesting place, so near from Porto, is
still so much “out” of the touristic circuits.
Find
more about:
what´s
the real name of the “Anémona”sculpture, what´s a “mamarracho”,
what was the former name of Matosinhos, the connection between
Matosinhos and the portuguese land of opportunities in the XIX
century:Brasil, the legend of the roman man that rided his horse into
the sea, among many other relevant aspects of Matosinhos and Portugal
history, culture, society and ecology.
Meeting point
for A Land of Fishermen and Sailors – SMT MTS
