5. Walking history (create your own guide here:

The history of Porto dates back to the 4th century, to the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Portus Cale, later referred to as Portucale, was the origin for the modern name of Portugal, which became independent in (recognized in 1143). Situated on the right bank of the River Douro, very close to its mouth, the cityhistorical center that still preserves a strong identity forged over many centuries and clearly visible in its remarkable buildings and unique urban fabric enlivened by the great vitality of the local inhabitants.

Strategically close to the Atlantic coast, at a natural intersection of the routes travelled by people from both North and South, the city has always played an important role international trade. Furthermore, not only did it escape the great waves of destruction that swept through so many other cities, but it is also fortunate enough to enjoy a geographical setting of exceptional beauty.

Luis, the city's emblematic iron bridge, built by a disciple of the famous Eiffel, the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar and ambassador of the city's name, Port wine, is left to age before being sent to all corners of the world, bringing great pleasure to all those who drink it.

You should therefore begin your visit on this bank, for you will understand the city better once you have enjoyed this wonderful view of it climbing up the hills opposite. First of all, however, you should take the opportunity to sample the famous Port wine and listen to its story being toSerra do Pilar, from where you will gain an even more splendid view of the bend in the river, the bridge and the city. You should also visit the monastery, a Renaissance church that has

Hugo, the city's first bishop, who also supervised the building of the first defensive walcathedral can be seen in the bell towers, which give the building its appearance of a fortress church.

The powerful looking buttresses on the main facade stand either side of the original Romanesque rose window and the eighteenth century doorway. Also visible on the outside is a baroque loggia attributed to Nicolau Nasoni, which

represents a later addition to the north face. Inside, the visitor's attention is drawn to the baroque chancel, with its magnificent altarpiece, and the althe Chapel of the Holy Sacrament, a most valuable work of' art from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, made by local silversmiths. At the south end of the cathedral is the elegant Gothic cloister, with its beautiful eighteenth century azulejoPalace, also from the twelfth century, whose size reflects the early ecclesiastical dominance of the city that would later be curbed by the Crown's interests and the city's determination. The paappearance is the result of its remodeling in eighteenth century, possibly under the supervision of Nicolau Nasoni. Slightly below the cathedral square is the church and convent of Grilos, built in the sixteenth century, with itmannerist front.

In the area around the cathedral (crossing over Avenida de Vimara Peres) and close to the Igreja de Santa Clara are some stretches of the city's old Fernandine Wall. This was the second ring of defensive walls, with a perimeteof roughly 3,400 metres, completed in the reign of D. Fernando in the

fourteenth century.

It is also well worth your trouble to climb up to the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar, from where you will gain an even more splendid view of the bend in the river, the bridge and the city. You should also visit the monastery, a Renaissance church that has the special peculiarity of a round cloister.

Returning to the right bank, begin your tour at the cathedral, which was built in the twelfth century, in the time of D. Hugo, the city's first bishop, who also supervised the building of the first defensive walcathedral can be seen in the bell towers, which give the building its appearance of a fortress church.

Inside, the visitor's attention is drawn to the baroque chancel, with its magnificent altarpiece, and the althe Chapel of the Holy Sacrament, a most valuable work of' art from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, made by local silversmiths. At the south end of the cathedral is the elegant Gothic cloister, with its beautiful eighteenth century azulejos. This group of buildings includes the magnificent Episcopal Palace, also from the twelfth century, whose size reflects the early ecclesiastical dominance of the city that would later be curbed by the Crown's interests and the city's determination. The palace's present day external appearance is the result of its remodeling in eighteenth century, possibly under the supervision of Nicolau Nasoni.

You should visit the church, which dates back to the fifteenth century, and admire its Renaissance doorway and remarkable interior, its walls lined with finely carved and gilded woodwork, one of the most typical features of Portuguese decorative art. Returning to Rua de D. Hugo, take some time to admire the attractive mansions emblazoned with their owners’ coats of arms, particularly the Casa-Museu Guerra Junqueiro, which houses the valuable collection of decorative art put together by this local poet and writer. Next to number 5 in this street, notice the only remaining visible section of the first medieval wall.

At the end of the Middle Ages, Porto was a city with a thriving commercial activity, mostly carried out near the port and at the administrative facilities that can still be seen today on the quayside of Cais da Ribeira and in the customs house of the Casa do Infante. Other buildings and houses appeared as a result of this cosmopolitan activity, all of which were protected by the Fernandine wall. Betsee the opening in the wall made for the storage of coal, the only one that is now left.

In order to reach this area, you will have to walk down from the cathedral towards the river, passing throupopular Barredo quarter, down its steep, narrow streets and alleys. In the riverside area close to Cais da Ribeira, you will find a number of pavement cafes inviting you to pause for a while before continuing on to Largo do Terreiro and then into Rua da Alfandega. Here, on the right, is a typical sixteenth century house, which acted as the first royal customs house. Above the entrance, a stone inscribed with the date I894 testifies to the birth here of Prince Henry the Navigator five hundred years before.

Thereafter the building took the name of the Casa do Infante (the Prince's House), although it is most likely that the son of D. Joao I was born in the palace that his father had built in the area, and which has since been demolished. A little further up the hill is Rua do Infante Dom Henrique (formerly known as Rua dos Ingleses), where the impressive building known as the Feitoria Inglesa (the English Factory House) is to be found.

This same street leads into the square of the same name, which has a center, Mercado Ferreira Borges, which used to be the city's main supply market, as well as a modest monument built as a memorial to Prince Henry. The neoclassical Paláas the city's stock exchange, is the dominant feature in this square.

nce Henry. The neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa, commissioned in 1842 by the Pas the city's stock exchange, is the dominant feature in this square.

The great opulence of the different materials used to decorate the building's interior reveals an eclecticism that is unique in Portugal and reflects the important rby commerce in the life of the city in the nineteenth century. Amongst its many interesting rooms, the most famous is undoubtedly the Arab Room, romantically inspired by the Alhambra palace in Grawith the Palácio da Bolsa stanFrancisco. Although this was originally a Gothic church, it has become one of the city's most important baroque works. Above the main entrance on the west facade, attention is drawn to the various features added over different periods: its original beautiful rose window, symbolizing the wheel of fortune, is situated above the

Renaissance doorway, itself flanked by baroque columns. Inside the church, the earlier Franciscan austerity has been completely superseded by the ostentatiousness of the 370 kg of gold that cover the baroque carved woodwork.
