'I fell in love with Porto and I love it still. The city's
spectacular bridges, its vertiginous riverbanks, steep with ancient
buildings, the old port houses, the wide squares: I was entranced
by them all.' J.K. ROWLING One of the oldest cities in Europe,
Porto is recognised the world over for its wonderful Port wine.
Rising from the steep banks of the Douro (the river of gold) with
picturesque pracas, churches and houses with colourfully tiled
facades. Its ancient name Portucale forms the origin of the country
- Portugal. Today, Porto is a vibrant commercial and cultural
centre that is proud of its historic links to the outside world. An
essential read from one of the world's foremost writers on
Portugal, Porto: Gateway to the World uses the beautiful buildings
and landmarks across the city to take the reader on a journey
through its rich history, from its origins right up to the modern
era.
