Set on the south bank of the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia, Pilar Apartments enjoys one of the most authentic and connected locations in the Porto region. Just steps from Gaia Pier and the Dom Luis I Bridge, the development sits where Porto and Gaia meet — a lively riverside setting surrounded by culture, history, and remarkable views.

Moments away lies the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, one of Europe's finest examples of classical architecture, and Jardim do Morro, a local favourite for its panoramic sunsets over Porto's historic skyline.

Rooted in a district known for its industrial heritage and Port wine cellars, Gaia continues to evolve as a thriving residential and touristic hub — combining tradition with growth, and tranquillity with proximity to the city's vibrant core.
