At the Douro riverbanks, the “Cidade Invicta” (unvanquished city) is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the second largest city of Portugal. Known worldwide by the Porto Wine, the “city of bridges” has actually six bridges over the Douro river. Luís I bridge is the most famous of all, built between 1881 and 1886 by Théophile Seyrig, colleague of Gustave Eiffel.
