2. The mythical bridge! Transport and communications architecture, 19th century. 19. Iron bridge, for road, rail and pedestrian traffic, made up of two metallic decks, supported by a large iron arch and five pillars. The decks located at different levels, and with different dimensions, adapting to the riverbanks, allow access to different points in the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

10. The Monastery of Serra do Pilar was created after the reform of the Order of Augustinians, when the monks of the monastery of Grijó were transferred to the new location. Construction of this new monastery began in 1537, which features a plan consisting of the church, circular in plan, the chancel, rectangular in plan, and the cloister, also circular in plan, all arranged sequentially. It is considered one of the most notable buildings of classical European architecture due to its circular church and cloister. In 1809 the space of the monastery was occupied by Wellington's troops, when the Portuguese army's attack on the city of Porto, then occupied by Napoleon's troops, was planned. During the 20th century, the monastery was the object of several conservation and restoration campaigns and is included in the Historic Center of Porto, inscribed by Unesco on the World Heritage List.

About Porto

Porto styrter ned ad stejle bakker til Douro, en granitby af kakkelklædte kirker, vinkældre ved floden og portvin, der modner på den anden side.

Ribeira-kvarteret kanter flodbredden med farverige huse, caféer og både, en del af en UNESCO-beskyttet gammel bymidte under jernbuerne på Dom Luís I-broen. Over det er stationshallen São Bento dækket af blå-hvide azulejos, Clérigos-tårnet rejser sig over tagene, og Sé-katedralen står på sin bakke.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
