The modern times Porto wine cellars (Vila Nova de Gaia) The caves Discoveries also brought consequences. A commercial bourgeoisie showed up, and with it, new tastes and behavioural patterns. The importance of the commercial activity was decisive and can still be observed in many of the cities of the Eixo Atlántico, such as Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia, where the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas de Alto Douro was born. Both cities are a good example of how the economic activity could alter the urban appearance. Vila Nova de Gaia is currently associated in a generalized way with the caves of the big wineries of Porto, but just as few know that their origin is located in this period, and more specifically in the decision of the Marquis of Pombal of toughening the conditions for wine exports. This emerging wine trade had, at first, a complementary importance with the rest of the economic activities that were developed, but in the 20th century one could already talk about a true specialization. This is the origin of wineries as famous as Calém, Sanderman, Ramos Pinto, Real Companhia Velha, Offley or Ferreira. Real Companhia Velha (Vila Nova de Gaia) Calém winery (Vila Nova de Gaia) 80
From Gallaecia to the Euro-Region New forms of government Not only a new social class emerged in the Modern Age, but also new forms of government. The distancing of the kings brought a new necessity: to create institutions or people where they could delegate the daily governmental tasks that they could no longer take care of. The figure of the corregidor (“city councilman”) appears, a representative of the king in the cities, which was common to Galicia and the north of Portugal. Despite its importance, it barely left any architectural examples. An exception would be the Casas Reales de Cimadevila o del Corregidor in Ourense, which were located in the numbers 16 and 17 of the current square of the Corregidor. The dedicatory inscription is maintained from the original building, where one can see the shield of the Catholic Kings and which is now placed in a 19th century façade. The councils, as meetings of the most standing inhabitants of the city, gained strength and weigh both in Galicia and in Portugal. One of the best examples of this kind of architecture are the Antigos Paços do Concelho de Viana do Castelo. This building joins Gothic characteristics with influences from the Mannerism. “The councils, as meetings of the most standing inhabitants of the city, gained strength and weigh both in Galicia and in Portugal.” The outer part is made of solid stonework and shows a certain similarity to the former paços minicipáis of Guimarães. Galicia, which at the beginning of the Modern period was one of the most difficult territories to pacify and to subdue, had also essential institutions such as the Royal Audience and the General Captain. Both had their seat initially in Santiago, but in the last quarter of the 15th century were moved to A Coruña, where they lacked a fixed seat until the construction of new facilities in 1748. This building is the currently occupied by the General Captaincy of Galicia, which came to us without important modifications apart from the necessary ones to adapt its use to the needs of the 20th century. But not everything was good government and consensus throughout these days. There were numerous moments when 81
