  Porto

  Porto , home to Port wine and “francesinhas” , Porto is one of the world’s top 100 cities with the most international visitors and over 1 million tourists visit the city every year. One of the oldest in Europe, Porto’s old town in the city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is no surprise that Porto is a city with a rich history and culture. Porto has been inhabited by different groups throughout the ages, making it a melting point of heritage and history. The city was first inhabited by Celtic people. Then, during the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula in the fourth century, the city was transformed into a commercial port. They renamed the city “Portus Cale”, meaning “Port of Cale” (Cale is the original name for Celtic). The Visigoths then took possession of the city in the sixth century but lost it to Moors in the eighth century. Christian forces won back the city in 997 when Porto became the capital of Portucalense (northern Portugal).
