Em Portugal, cada vez mais se tem levantado questões de salvaguarda e conservação do Património construído. Num cenário actual de abandono e degradação, assistimos a perdas essenciais de elementos da nossa história. Assim acontece com o Património Ferroviário que se encontra desactivado. O seu abandono perceptível não esconde a estagnação que as regiões adjacentes tiveram como consequência.
O caso da linha férrea do Douro, em parte desactivada, é um desses exemplos. Sem esta estrada de ferro, o Douro não seria o que é hoje, sendo a grande alavanca para o progresso desta região pobre, mas produtora de grandes riquezas. Nas suas origens, há mais de 150 anos, o comboio rasgou a Paisagem duriense e deixou marcas identitárias do trabalho árduo do Homem. No entanto, nos dias que correm, o seu traçado desactivado tem caído no esquecimento, sendo ignorada esta mais valia territorial que outrora conferia à linha do Douro um carácter internacional.
Nesta investigação, pretende-se estudar o impacto da reactivação do troço abandonado entre Côa e Barca d’Alva. A proposta teve em consideração a fragmentação do território ao longo do traçado, elaborando uma estratégia para Barca d’Alva, a última estação ferroviária em terras portuguesas. A proposta de desenvolvimento redesenha este lugar, trazendo novos usos e vivências. Pretende responder às necessidades dos seus moradores e atrair novos públicos, apoiados pelo turismo rural cada vez mais presente no território duriense.
ABSTRACT: There is increasingly attention to issues related to preservation and conservation of built heritage in Portugal. Now facing a state of abandonment and degradation, we are witnessing significant losses of elements in our history. This is happening with our Railway Heritage which is today mostly deactivated. Its abandonment is notorious and does not let hide the consequent stagnation of adjacent regions. The railway in Douro, partly deactivated, is a representative example. Without this railway, Douro would never been what it is today. Transportation by train was the great booster for progress in this region, which was poor but became producer of great riches. During its origins, which date back more than 150 years, the train rushed through Douro’s landscape and left strong identity marks of its population’s hard work. However, nowadays, this deactivated route has fallen into oblivion, a crucial landmark which once gave Douro its international status is now ignored by most. This investigation seeks to study the impact caused by reactivating the abandoned section between Côa and Barca d’Alva. The proposal takes into account the fragmentation of the territory along the route, and points out a specific strategy for Barca d’Alva, the last railway station in Portuguese territory. The development proposal redesigns this place, bringing new uses and experiences. It aims to respond to its inhabitants needs at the same time as it attracts new public supported by rural tourism which is increasingly present in Douro’s territory.
