Where Porto meets the Atlantic, Matosinhos has about 28,070 residents and is the seafood capital of the Porto region. The Rua Herois de Franca, lined with restaurants serving grilled sardines and fresh fish over charcoal, draws Porto residents on summer evenings. The Leixoes commercial port, the largest artificial harbour in Portugal, handles container traffic and cruise ships that bypass Porto's difficult river bar.
Matosinhos has become a showcase for contemporary architecture. Alvaro Siza Vieira, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect, designed the Leca Swimming Pools (1966), a masterwork of integration between built form and natural rock on the Atlantic shore. The building is considered one of the most important pieces of twentieth-century architecture in Portugal. Siza also designed the Bom Nova tea house on the cliffs above.
The Terminal de Cruzeiros de Leixoes (cruise terminal), designed by Luís Pedro Silva, opened in 2015 as a wave-shaped building on the harbour breakwater.
