  • Praca da Batalha, Porto, Portugal
    Located in the heart of Porto, Praça da Batalha is a historic square with deep roots in the city’s past. The square's name is believed to be linked to a battle that took place around the 10th century, during which the people of Porto were defeated by the forces of Almançor, a Moorish leader. This defeat led to the destruction of the city, along with many others across Portugal and Spain. Although the name might suggest a more recent battle, it is this historic defeat that gave the square its name, which remains in use today. The area was urbanized around 1861, becoming a significant public space. The square is home to the Teatro São João, one of Porto's oldest and most important cultural venues. Inaugurated in 1798, the theater was initially built to host operas and dramatic performances. The theater’s history took a tragic turn when it was destroyed by a fire on the night of April 11-12, 1908.
  • Muralha Fernandina, Porto, Portugal
    This wall began its works in the fourteenth century, in the reign of D. Afonso IV, to replace the old wall and cope with the expansion of the city. Although it was almost completed around 1370 its completion was only in the reign of D. Fernando, in 1409, hence the name assigned. In the 18th century, after no longer being needed in military terms, the wall began to be demolished and only a few parts survived to this day.

    10 minutes
  • Cafe Majestic, Porto, Portugal
    Opened in 1921, Café Majestic stands as a prime example of Porto’s Belle Époque era, located on the bustling Rua Santa Catarina. This café, with its opulent Art Nouveau style, has long been a beloved meeting place for intellectuals, artists, and writers. The café’s elegant interior, adorned with marble, gilded mirrors, and intricate woodwork, transports visitors to a bygone era of grandeur. It remains a cultural landmark, offering a place to indulge in traditional Portuguese pastries and coffee while experiencing the rich history of Porto. Just a short stroll from Café Majestic, you’ll find the Relógio das Galerias Palladium, an ornate clock with a carillon and four statues that perform every three hours. These statues, representing four key figures from Porto’s history—Saint John (São João), Prince Henry the Navigator (Infante D. Henrique), the writer Almeida Garrett, and the novelist Camilo Castelo Branco—emerge and parade on the building’s façade to the sound of the bells.
    5 minutes
  • Teatro Municipal do Porto - Rivoli, Porto, Portugal

    The Igreja do Carmo and Igreja das Carmelitas, two stunning Baroque churches, are landmarks of Porto’s rich religious history. The Igreja do Carmo, with its impressive azulejos (painted ceramic tiles) adorning the exterior, is known for its intricate architecture and serene atmosphere. Just across the street, the Igreja das Carmelitas, equally beautiful, features a striking and ornate facade. What makes this area truly fascinating, however, is the "Hidden House" (Casa Escondida), a charming secret tucked away between these two churches. This small but delightful house is cleverly wedged between the two buildings, showcasing the creative solutions required when constructing in such a densely built area. Visitors often overlook this unique space, which offers an intriguing glimpse into Porto's architectural ingenuity. Together, these churches and the hidden house offer a fascinating peek into Porto’s past, with beautiful architecture, historical significance, and a touch of mystery.

In 1992 the Museum of Transport and Communications opened.
  • Igreja de Sao Francisco, Porto, Portugal
    The most important Gothic temple of the city, with construction begun in the fourteenth century, is one of the most important works of the Baroque, for its golden interior of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was the exuberance of his carved woodwork that led Count Raczinsky to describe it as a "Church of Gold". And, impressed, he adds: 'This church is so beautiful and rich that it goes far beyond everything I've seen in Portugal and around the world.' It is worth observing the Tree of Jesse, as well as visiting the catacombs. It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910 and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site since 1996.
  • Igreja Paroquial de San Nicolau, Porto, Portugal
    This building is extremely representative of the religious architecture of Porto in the late 17th century. It is also part of a mannerist style trend, although one can see some Baroque influence.

It is considered one of the most remarkable buildings of classical European architecture due to the circular shapes of the church and cloister. It currently serves as a religious, cultural and military site. The monastery was classified as a National Monument in 1910 and in 1996, together with the Historic Center of Porto and the Luís I Bridge, it became classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
