The Residence Rua D. Hugo (Portuguese: Casa da Rua D. Hugo, 5/Arqueossítio da Rua de D. Hugo) is a residence and archaeological site in the civil parish of Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória, in the municipality of Porto, in the Portuguese district of Porto.
History
Traces unearthed in the 1980s, trace antecedents to a proto-historic redoubt, that may have assisted in early Roman occupation, leading to a late medieval successor.[1] The original "residence" was Gothic but destroyed; the owners took advantage of the original walls to construct a new building.[1]
In 1871, the residence was owned by Manuel Cardoso Corte Real.[2]
In the 1980s, archeological excavations were undertaken in the interior of the building, revealing that the site was likely occupied far earlier than originally expected; human occupation remotes to the 4th or 5th century.[2]
In 1993, the building was recuperated and the seat of the Secção Regional do Norte da Ordem dos Arquitectos (North Regional Section of the Order of Architects) was transferred to site.[2] The following year the site won the João de Almada prize for the onsite architectural design.[2]
Architecture
The residence is located in an urban area, adjacent to a visible medieval wall, alongside the Sé Cathedral, with a small parking area in the northwest.[2]
The interior, at 3 metres (9.8 ft) depth, through 20 layers of archaeological excavations, archaeologists discovered integrated architectural ruins dating to the 4th century.[1] These included the vestiges of a proto-historic Castro that lead to the formation of the city, as well as Roman and late Medieval periods.[1]
