Porto is famous for its port wine, its colorful houses along the Douro river, and its stunning monuments and bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city was first inhabited by Celtic people, then by Romans, Visigoths, Moors, and Christians. The name Porto comes from the Latin Portus Cale, meaning &#8220;Port of Cale&#8221;, which was the original name for the Celtic settlement. Porto was also an important city in the struggle for the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the Portuguese Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id32844_25d994-67 >
