Bairro da Matriz (In Portuguese it means Mother/First Church Quarter) is the historical neighourhood of the portuguese city of Póvoa de Varzim and part of the Matriz/Mariadeira district. Bairro da Matriz was a significant settlement in the 14th century, whose nucleus was the centre, whence the modern city grew, being a neighbourhood composed by old single family homes.
