Fornos da Fábrica de Louça de Massarelos
Fornos da Fábrica de Louça de Massarelos, Historical pottery kiln in Bonfim, Portugal.
Two preserved kilns and a chimney stand as remnants of the former Massarelos pottery factory along the Douro River in Porto.
The factory began operations in 1766 under Manuel Duarte Silva, using heather as fuel for the kilns until 1819 when production methods changed.
The facility manufactured various ceramics, including plain and relief tiles, sanitary ware, and artistic pieces that shaped Porto's industrial heritage.
The site is accessible through Avenida de Paiva Couceiro, offering visitors a glimpse into Porto's industrial development near the Douro riverfront.
Following a fire in 1920, the factory relocated to Quinta do Roriz near the Maria Pia Bridge, where these remaining structures now stand.
