What victories cellebrates Vitória? - SMT4 (Vitória)

Vitória history is deeply connected with the history of the last jewish gheto in Porto but there are many other elements of historical and social interest. Vitória is very deeply into the medieval art of Porto so its streets are so rich in terms of traditional trade and traces of a sort of recent and not so recent past.

Find more about:

Where was the last jewish neighbourhood in Porto. The places and last traces of the “Fernandina” wall. A less known but no less important saint called “S.Roque”. What centenary shops you can still find in Vitória among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

The “East” Side Porto – SMT9 (Bonfim)

Bonfim in some points of view is already a different Porto and in many aspects you could also say: a more authentic Porto. It´s a district very connected for example with the Industrial Revolution in Porto, with the so important for the history of the city model of housing named “Ilhas” and somehow a district where the Douro connects us with the inner land. It´s also a somehow more “forgotted” Porto but full of secrets to tell us …

find more about:

The Industrial Revolution in Porto. The “last address” of some of the most important city personalities. Why is “Fontaínhas” named like that. The haunted chapel. The Douro as an obstacle and at the same time as the main way of communication … among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

A Porto already from the “Iron Age” - SMT2 (Sé)

Sé do Porto district can be, in several aspects, together with S.Nicolau, considered the place where Porto was actually born, and there we can find some of the oldest archeological findinds in concern to the city history. Therefore it´s just sort of impossible to get to know about Porto identitity without “diving” in the many narrow streets and secrets from Sé do Porto.

Find more about:

Why was the romanic style so important in the beginning of the portuguese nationality. The fleet going on the cruzades to Jerusalém that was conviced to stop in Lisbon to take the city from the moors. A Porto from the iron age among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
