No abstract

Although the relationship between the Park and the local community has not always been unproblematic, the last few years have witnessed a major shift in the situation. While some misunderstandings still exist, recent efforts made by the PAVC, specifi cally enhancing education services involving local schools in heritage management and conservation, and in organizing activities aimed at the local population, have helped develop ties with the community.

The work presented here summarizes the results of the archaeological intervention carried out between October 2018 and April 2019, within the Recovery and Restoration Project of the Recreatório Paroquial Penafidelense (parish and municipality of Penafiel, district of Porto), located in the primitive nucleus of the place Arrifana de Sousa, in the old parish of S. Martinho de Moazares, today in the heart of the Historic of the city of Penafiel. The building is a particular patrimonial interest due to the varied set of functions that were assigned to it between the 14th century (?) and today: hostel/hospital, chapel, headquarters of the Irmandade da Misericórdia and theater.
