Porto took its name from the ancient Roman port settlement of Portus Cale, from which Portugal also derives its name. Its historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996, featuring an architectural ensemble spanning from the medieval era to the 18th century. São Bento Station preserves over 20,000 painted tiles narrating key episodes of Portuguese history. The Luís I Bridge, inaugurated in 1886 by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, connects both banks of the Douro River on two levels. The facade of the Capela das Almas is covered by 15,947 blue and white ceramic tiles depicting scenes from the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Catherine. In GeoCats Agora, you explore these places by solving challenges that reveal the city layer by layer.
