The origin story
Porto
The Romans called the settlement at the mouth of the Douro Portus Cale, and the name later gave the whole country its name. Porto grew on the steep granite bank of the river, its merchants traded wine with England, and its historic centre, from the Ribeira to the cathedral hill, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
