Porto "ciudade Invicta"

Porto is a busy industrial city and communications center. The city was built along the hills overlooking the Douro river. It was awarded  World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1996. Architecturally alluring with medieval and modern structures side by side.
After our visit to the wineries we journeyed to downtown Porto, the Ribeira district. A fascinating section, every street is deeply immersed with historical meaning. The city itself invites you to celebrate its history through the maze of narrow, timeless cobblestone streets and snakelike alleys. Our tour guide mentioned, "The city itself is a living, breathing museum".

The network of cobble stone streets guided us to prada da liberdad, The liberty plaza. A large open space the nerve center of town. Surrounded by theaters, the music center, banks, business buildings, museums and more. A number of historical statues and government offices lend importance to the city.
