About the Place
Marvila, once the most prominent heavy industrial area on the north bank of the Tagus, is now divided into reclaimed blocks, vacant lots and numerous industrial ruins. Within this area is Matinha, a site named after the former Matinha Gas factory, built in 1944. Before industrialisation, these areas were mainly agricultural, and this particular land was once part of the Marqueses de Belas estate, recognised as one of the most productive estates of its time. After the industry left, the complex was dismantled and has been closed and unused for several decades. It is currently awaiting a major transformation through a large-scale urban intervention that includes housing, services, commerce and public spaces. This ambitious project aims to preserve the memory of the old gasometers.
