Founded in the distant nineteenth century, specifically in 1877, the Great Warehouses of Beira began their activity in Rua de Santa Catarina as a store selling fabrics. Today, its doors are open to the public at a different address at Rua de 31 de Janeiro. In this establishment, with a tradition of over 140 years, you can nowadays buy products of a very different nature from those initially sold in the Department Stores, such as puzzles, postcards, souvenirs and handicrafts of Portuguese production, allowing you a short trip through culture of our country.

The workshop 110 Cores opened in 2004, when the Company J. P. da Conceição was celebrating 110 years of existence. The name comes as a tribute to its age. Throughout its existence, the atelier has given training and workshops, organised exhibitions, participated in events, established partnerships, promoted internships, helped clients and helped to hold projects. Visiting this space you can find the artists in their work environment. The pieces produced here stand out for their originality and creativity. It has a wide and differentiated offer, from figurines, popular saints and improbable cribs, artistic and decorative pieces (plates, bowls, masks, etc.) to tiles and personal accessories.
Founded in 2004, this space owes its name to the lady who dreamt of one day having a shop dedicated to traditional Portuguese crockery made on the potter’s wheel and painted by hand. Nowadays is nicknamed the “Pottery and Embroidery shop” due to the two main categories of products: ceramics and embroidery, both handcrafted and 100% Portuguese. Highlights include the faience from Coimbra, ceramics from São Pedro do Corval in Alentejo, roosters from Barcelos, certified embroideries from the Azores, certified shawls, and handkerchiefs from Minhoto and Meadela, among others. In addition to the items on display, clients can learn about the manufacturing process, the history of the pieces and videos of their production. They have the option of producing customized parts.
This is the ideal space to get to know Portuguese traditions and gastronomy, taking with you products created by Portuguese designers and products produced in Portugal. It is located in the old “terreiro do forno” (furnace yard), one of the oldest and most representative places of the habits and customs of the people of Porto. It emerged as part of the Porto Vivo Project, which aims not only to revitalise historic buildings, but above all to energise and bring new life to the most forgotten places in the city, bringing the local population closer to tourists. Therefore, Porto Passion does not intend to be just a shop for “tourist souvenirs”, but rather to disclose a little of the local history and the people who currently live in the Largo.
