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.
