Porto's Bridges and Riverfront, 1900
Porto in 1900 is an industrializing river city shaped by ironwork, river trade and steep medieval streets. This walk follows the Douro from the Atlantic approach, across the great iron spans of Maria Pia and D. Luís, through quays, markets and tram-lined avenues to the wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia and a wide riverside panorama.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Porto as it stood in 1900 (“Porto”).
