View of Porto from the Cais de Gaia

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Beautiful views from the shore of the Douro River.
The Douro River is crossed by several bridges as it passes through Porto. The most famous of them is the Don Luis I Bridge (Ponte Dom Luís I in Portuguese), which connects the city with Vila Nova de Gaia. Inaugurated at the end of the 19th century, this iron bridge is one of the most emblematic images of Porto.

Dom Pedro IV Monument, Liberty Square (Praça da Liberdade)

Church of Saint Lawrence (Grilos)

Highlight • Religious Site

Built by the Jesuits in 1577 in the Mannerist style, with Baroque and Neoclassical elements added later.

After the expulsion of the Jesuits, it passed to the University of Coimbra and then to the Discalced Augustinians, whose dark habit earned them the nickname "grilos" (crickets), the origin of its name.
It currently belongs to the Major Seminary of Porto and houses the Museum of Sacred Art and Archaeology.
