Rua de Santa Catarina
Roads and squares
This owes its planning to the visionary spirit of the Almadas whose restoration work brought a new brightness to the city of Porto in the second half of the 18th Century.
The road was extended as far as Alameda da Aguardente, today’s Praça Marquês de Pombal.
Its imposing façades house some fine examples of the Art Nouveau style.
Over 1500 metres long, the Rua de Santa Catarina, part of which has been pedestrianised, is the busiest shopping street in the city centre.
