Description
A working industrial space where you can observe the intimate relationship between architecture, machinery and engineering. Inside the premises of a Senhora da Hora block, today urban and central, the mill made of an iron and wood structure was installed to receive machines (modernized in the 1960s), the gigantic silos of concrete of the 1980s to store cereals, the labs to test flours and the making of bread, cakes and cookies. As well as the most recent office block and the flour and final products warehouse, in which a caster system operates the compaction storage by gravity. The visit follows work hygiene and security rules, and it can be noisy.
