The vaulted ceiling of the chapel at the Prado do Repouso Cemetery is being restored

Porto City Hall commenced the rehabilitation works of the vaulted ceiling of the chapel at the Prado do Repouso Cemetery, at the Bonfim parish, namely the sealing of fissures and breakings. 

Restoring historical buildings require extra care and attention to detail, as not to endanger the original features and materials. And this is an important enterprise as it is our link to the past and bygone eras.

In 2018, the Municipality undertook rehabilitation and restoration works in that very same chapel, but regarding surface and façade painting treatment, window-sashes and plaster repair, as well as inner pavement works.

This endeavour is ensured by the municipal company Gestão e Obras do Porto - GO Porto, and represents an investment of circa 94 thousand euros.
