Description
The Real Vinícola block, dedicated to the production and export of wine and olive oil, was created (1897-1901) when the company left the Douro riverside and settled in Matosinhos, near the new Leixões Port. The industrial complex starts at the rail line that connects to the port and is organized around the double central patio where spaces of storage, carpentry, cooperage, laboratories, administrative offices and a guardhouse were placed. The spatial structure persists, after the 1930s it was abandoned, and after the April 25th 1974 revolution it served as residence for families that were coming back from the ex-colonies. In its reconversion in 2017, it reopened as the headquarters of the Casa da Arquitectura, headquarters of the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra, and other multifunctional and commercial spaces.
