Aldeia da Ponte (Sabugal)

With the premise of making known the popular “capaia raiana” bullfight, regarded as cultural and intangible heritage of Portugal, arises into full “raia” region, in the village Aldeia do Bispo, a space dedicated to presentation and interpretation of this popular tradition.

Looking like in plant design to a “forcão” – “Capaia raiana” symbol – the square develops in steps defined by a metal skeleton, which ensures a space to recreation with games of light and water (with roof water reuse and routing) and a place that enables temporary exhibitions.
