Germano Silva - Porto - Nos Recantos do Passado

Did you know that:
• The first film made in Portugal was about the departure of female workers from the Confiança shirt factory on Rua de Santa Catarina?

• In the location of the current Rua Formosa, there was a street with the grim name of Rua do Enforcado (Hanged Man's Street), because a Galician man who killed his mistress to rob her was hanged there?

• The origin of the word Bolhão is due to the existence, in that place, of a spring where water gushed out?

• Rua das Taipas owes its name to a terrible outbreak of plague that occurred there in 1486, which was immediately closed to prevent the disease from spreading?

Through these new chronicles by Germano Silva, rediscover the stories of a Porto from the past that remains so alive in its corners, its streets, and its people.
