Description
As a consequence of the expansion of cities with the industrial age in the 19th Century, the municipal slaughterhouses functioned as a fundamental instrument for the salubrity of the urban environment and its inhabitants. They are located, therefore, at the limits of the city normally in large buildings. Having cessed its function in the 1990, it has the potential today of feeding a renovation of the urban and cultural dynamics of Porto. While we wait for this ambitious project to be finished, it’s worth to visit this enormous structure, gifted with an unexpected design.
