POrTOThe city of Porto in roman times was designated as Portus Cale and that was the origin of the name of Portugal.It was in Porto that King John I got married to the English princess D. Philippa of Lancaster. The city prides itself on being the birthplace of Prince Henry, the navigator. Porto played a key role in defending ideas of liberalism in the battles of the nineteenth century. Indeed, the courage with which the city withstood the famous Siege of Delhi during the civil war of 1832-34 earned Porto a unique title awarded by Queen Mary II - Invicta Cidade do Porto (the unvanquished City of Porto). Since then Porto has often been referred to as the Invicta City. The city is widely visited by tourists, favouring landmakrs such as the Tower of Clerics, by nasoni, and the Serralves Foundation Contemporary Art Museum.

The Historic Centre has been classified as world Heritage by unESCO.The coast (Foz) is another significant tourist area and it is considered by many the most beautiful area of town from where you can enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as a beautiful and romantic promenade. Today, the city of Porto receives over one million tourists per year and has become one of the most visited cities in Europe. Porto was the European Capital of Culture in 2001 ) and co-hosted the European Football Championship in 2004. This modern European city, known for its beauty, booming cultural agenda, and strong traditional roots, is the Portuguese Academic capital. Porto is also known for the friendly and cosmopolitan environment which helps to explain the large attraction of international students.

VILA nOVA DE gAIAThe city of Vila nova de gaia is located on the south bank of the Douro river. The famous Port wine cellars are found there.

The connection to the nearby city of Porto is particularly strong, as both cities share a common heritage: the Douro river and Port wine.

The origin of Vila nova de gaia probably dates back to a Celtic citadel. When integrated into the roman Empire, it was named Cale (or gale). This name is most likely of Celtic origin, a development of “gall,” which the Celts used to refer to themselves.

The Douro river itself (Durus in Latin) is also Celtic, built from the Celtic “dwr”, which means water. During roman times, the vast majority of the population lived on the south bank of the Douro. To the north, there was a small community built around the water Port. This is now Downtown Porto. The name of the city of Porto is said to come from “Portus Cale” (“Portus “in Latin and “gale” in Celtic).

The name of the two cities of Porto and gaia was often mentioned in contemporary documents as “villa Portucale”, and the county of León around the town was called “Portucalense”. This county led to the future kingdom of Portugal.
