Porto - Armazéns Cunhas

Porto - Armazéns Cunhas
With around 250,000 inhabitants, Porto is the largest city in the north of Portugal. More than 1.7 million people live in the "Greater Porto area", the metropolitan region.

The historic centre of Porto was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Port wine is named after Porto because the wineries of Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank of the Douro River are the centres for packaging, transporting and exporting the fortified wine.

I have uploaded many photos from previous visits.
So I will limit myself and only upload a few.

The business was founded in 1898 by José de Almeida Cunha and has been trading as "Cunhas & C.ª Lda" since 1917.

Armazén's Cunhas are housed in an Art Deco-style building designed by architect Manuel Marques. They combined three 19th-century buildings into a single Art Deco façade. A peacock is enthroned at the top of the façade. The company specialises in household items such as bedspreads, tablecloths, bed and bath sets and blankets.
