Steps in Barredo

Barredo is one of the districts where features of medieval Porto can still be traced in the way it is attuned to the city’s intricate topography. The Ribeira/Barredo Rennovation Project together with the Sé (Cathedral) District Pilot Project (1993), both under the remit of the Commission for Urban Regeneration of the Ribeira / Barredo Area (CRUARB), was vital for the candidacy of Porto’s Historic Centre to UNESCO, which led to its inclusion in the Cultural Heritage of Humanity List (1996).
