Capital and gateway to the northern region, Porto is an ancient city that gave its name to Portugal and to a wine known in the four corners of the world: Port Wine.
With a magnificent location near the mouth of the River Douro and an architectural complex of unique value, the historic center of Porto has been a World Heritage Site since 1996. It is the capital of the North and the 2nd most populous city in Portugal; its enterprising population and with a strong mercantile profile, has always asserted its will against impositions and invaders, which is why Porto is also known as the "undefeated" city.
