#StayHome and do this! It might well be your favourite hobby ever

In the framework of the need to stay indoors, Porto. offers some suggestions on how to spend your best hours at home, as the current pandemic must be fought so in a near future we can go back to being the city with unfailing flair; in the meantime #StayHome #FicaEmCasa and do enjoy the following. Who knows, you might be discovering your most favourite hobby!

Take a tour through the urban evolution of the city of Porto, visiting its most iconic buildings; let us begin with the Cartas Históricas Interativas do Porto, that is to say, the Interactive Historical Charts of Porto, which is a free online service provided by the Municipal Archive of Porto to explore the historic charts of the city.

You only need access to internet and off you go to learn about The Invicta since the nineteenth century.

The service is developed based on a Geographic System Information - SIG base and it enables a special interpretation of the territorial evolution, as well as a chronological timetable of historic documents of Porto.

The project is continually updating and it makes the city mapping available for study and observation as far as 1892, authored by Augusto Gerardo Teles, in a 1/500 scale. This is deemed to be the first cartographic mapping of the city of Porto and it displays buildings, gardens, rural areas, creaks, and other features.

Moreover, Porto. suggests that you learn more about the inside and pleasant corners of some of the most iconic buildings of Porto, in a 360º virtual walk that will safely let you in the following places:

- Sé Cathedral of Porto;

- Lello Bookstore;

- Clérigos Church and Tower;

- Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace);

- Casa da Música;

- Church of Carmo;

- Church and Museum of Misericórdia;

- Church of São Lourenço;
