Cruise on the Douro River . Porto
Douro River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Porto is located on the banks of the river. The two sides of the river are connected by six bridges. Of them impressed me Luis I bridge, built in 1886, He was a marvel of technology and was then the largest bridge in metel. Douro river, the Ribeira district. A very picturesque area carved into the granite shore. Colorful houses give the feeling of falling down into the river

AmaWaterways Trip Down Douro River in Portugal on European River Cruise & Visit to Casa de Mateus
AmaWaterways trip eastward down the beautiful Douro River Valley on European River Cruise vacation cruising on-board the luxury cruise ship AmaVida and seeing many other visiting the famed Casa de Mateus along the way as documented by travel filmmaker Clint Denn. The Douro is one of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, flowing from its source near Duruelo de la Sierra in Soria Province across northern-central Spain and Portugal to its outlet at Porto. The name, Latinized Durius, may have come from the Celtic tribes that inhabited the area before Roman times: the Celtic root is *dubro- and in modern Welsh dŵr is water with cognate dobhar in Irish.
The Douro vinhateiro, an area of the Douro Valley in Portugal, has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Traditionally, the wine was taken down river in flat-bottom boats called rabelos to be stored in barrels in cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from Porto. In the 1950s and 1960s, dams were built along the river ending this river traffic on Spanish and border sections. Now Port wine is transported in tanker trucks.
The Matthew House is ordered to be built in the first half of the eighteenth century by Antonio José Botelho Mourão, 3rd Morgado de Mateus. Substitui-se à casa da família já existente no local em inícios do século XVII. It replaces the existing home on the site in the early seventeenth century. Em 1911 é classificada como Monumento Nacional. In 1911 is classified as a National Monument.
A arquitectura barroca, de gosto italiano, é atribuída a Nicolau Nasoni pela coerência do estilo e semelhança com outras obras de sua autoria. The Baroque architecture of Italian taste, is attributed to Nasoni consistency of style and resemblance to other works of authorship. Segundo Robert Smith, especialista na sua obra, o arquitecto terá dedicado à construção da Casa, ou pelo menos à sua fachada central e decoração, os anos entre 1739 a 1743. According to Robert Smith, an expert in his work, the architect will be devoted to the construction of the house, or at least its central facade and decor, the years between 1739-1743.
