This thoroughfare is integrated into the area that shares its name, "Vessadas," evoking a designation linked to the land and its history. Its inclusion in the Porto district positions it in a transitional context between the more rural character and the urban development of Felgueiras, giving it a distinctive and accessible environment within the local fabric.

Environment and Characterization

This street is characterized by a predominantly residential environment, where one can observe a coexistence between constructions reflecting local architecture and more contemporary buildings. The layout of Rua das Vessadas may suggest a harmonious adaptation to the terrain's topography, with possible gentle slopes typical of areas once shaped by agricultural activity. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Jugueiros community, at a more tranquil pace.

Essence of the Landscape

The name of the street, Vessadas, is in itself indicative of the deep connection of the place to the landscape and its history. This denomination refers to worked or cultivated lands, suggesting that the area now home to the street was, in times past, an integral part of arable fields that shaped the local landscape. Although urbanization has progressed, it is possible that the essence of this rural heritage manifests itself in small green spaces or in the terrain's disposition, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere rooted in the territory of Felgueiras.
