The Espaço Porto CRUZ building dates back to the 18th century and includes a museum, auditorium and tasting room, as well as a restaurant and a magnificent rooftop terrace. It therefore offers a whole host of experiences over its 4 floors. Whether you would like to learn more about the wines and region of Porto through its cultural spaces, or simply enjoy your port while enjoying a panoramic view over the Douro, there’s something for everyone!

The Espaço Porto Cruz is particularly proud of its support for Portuguese local art and the way it showcases the exceptional heritage of the port wines region,

In September you will have the chance to visit some incredible exhibitions, the most recent of which is on the architecture of the Douro. Entitled “Hybrid Douro”, it is being put on by Claudio Reis and Miguel Téodoro, two Portuguese artists who offer a contemporary and artistic perspective on the architecture along the Douro. The artworks are inspired by the stones and shadows that follow this legendary river as it crosses through Spain and into Portugal.

Then, from 20 to 29 September, the Espaço Porto Cruz will host the exhibition “Filigree Route”. In partnership with the tourism department of Gondomar, a Portuguese town west of Porto renowned for its jewellery-making tradition, this exhibition highlights the expertise of these gold- and silversmiths and the little-known art of filigree in jewellery. To mark the occasion, the world’s largest filigree heart will be on display!

Enjoy the late summer!
