Thermal Power Plant

Unique energy production site  
The Massarelos Power Plant was from early on a unique energy production site that quickly became interconnected with the city. The history of this energy flow, which originates from the power plant and gives rise to the movement of vehicles throughout the city, is reflected in the Electric Car Museum and its various sections, showcasing new experiences along the lines defined by the rail layout or the building's structures.
