Why Cedofeita?

Cedofeita begins where the downtown thins out. Its spine is Rua de Cedofeita, a long pedestrian shopping street of small independent shops, and its name comes from the Romanesque church of São Martinho de Cedofeita, one of the oldest in the city.

The quarter is Porto's gallery district. Rua de Miguel Bombarda and the streets around it hold most of the city's contemporary art galleries, which open their new shows on the same afternoons, together with design shops, cafés and concept stores. Behind the shopfronts it is a residential area of tiled townhouses with long back gardens.

The centre is a ten-minute walk. Lapa and Carolina Michaëlis stations, served by five metro lines, sit on the northern edge, and Praça de Carlos Alberto on the southern edge links the quarter to the university and Clérigos.
