About the Place
Frequently called the Wine Cathedral on account of its wine cellars and the main Art Nouveau façade inspired by barrels, this warehouse is very close to the quays where the boats carrying wines from the Ribatejo region docked in Lisbon. When its original purpose was no longer needed, the former Abel Pereira da Fonseca wine warehouse building remained relatively abandoned for decades. It was first renovated as part of the Caminhos do Oriente/Pathways to the East programme for Expo 98. More recently, as part of endeavours to raise the property and cultural values of the area, it was converted into a new space – 8 Marvila – which strives to be a benchmark development for alternative culture and independent entrepreneurism in the city of Lisbon.
