Come and discover the object of the month and find out more about our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have already highlighted, there were several obstacles to being able to navigate the Douro River in national territory. In this context, the destruction of the Cach\u00e3o da Valeira was one of the main works carried out by the Company, and took place between 1780 and 1792. The watercolour selected as object of month represents this area of the river that is now able to be navigated. It\u2019s displayed in the Museum\u2019s fourth exhibition part alongside with another watercolour that represents the Cach\u00e3o da Valeira still intact, before it\u2019s destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We remind you that the exhibition area where this piece is displayed, highlights many of the public works carried out by Real Companhia Velha, as a chartered Company. Those public works developed and shaped the entire Douro region and the city of Porto itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9649a0d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<p><strong>Author<br><\/strong>Jo\u00e3o Baptista Ribeiro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Material<br><\/strong>Watercolour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong><br>1810<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Collection<\/strong><br>Real Companhia Velha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><br>Height: 64 cm x Length: 84,7 cm x Width: 4,7 cm<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pe\u00e7a do m\u00eas &#8211; dezembro, 2021 Todos os meses, o Museu da 1\u00aa Demarca\u00e7\u00e3o destaca uma das pe\u00e7as da exposi\u00e7\u00e3o permanente.
