Porto

It was in the Porto and Northern regions that Portugal was founded in the 12th century and the Portuguese became a people and a nation. Porto, a World Heritage city, is the gateway and the starting point of a journey through the natural and cultural diversity of the region. It is known for the port wine that is shipped from here to the whole world, but also for a heritage that combines ancient churches and monuments, such as the Cathedral and the Church of São Francisco, and modern buildings, such as the Casa da Música and the Serralves Museum. And also for its School of Architecture that raised names like Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, both winners of the Pritzker Prize.
