🏛️ Casa Tait

The Tait House, also known as Quinta do Meio, is a former 18th century residence in Massarelos, Porto, near the Quinta da Macieirinha and the gardens of the Crystal Palace. It is in an isolated location, protected by high walls, overlooking the Douro River, and offering privileged views of the surrounding landscape. The estate is renowned for its historic gardens, which feature several protected trees, including a 250-year-old tulip tree classified as a tree of public interest. Today it hosts the programming department of Porto's museum.
