Porto (en portugais [u'poɾtu], «portou ») est une ville du Portugal de 237 559 habitants et environ 1,8 million pour le Grand Porto (chiffres 2011), ce qui en fait la seconde agglomération du pays après Lisbonne. Les deux villes ont souvent rivalisé par le passé. Elle est connue pour le vin de Porto, ses monuments et ses ponts sur le Douro. Porto, de par son histoire de négoce du vin avec le Royaume-Uni, semble avoir été influencée par ce pays et par une activité commerciale importante. Un adage évoque le caractère des différentes villes portugaises : « Pendant que Lisbonne se fait belle, Coimbra étudie, Braga prie et Porto travaille ».

Les habitants de Porto sont appelés Portuenses (en français, on dit « portuan ») et ne pas confondre avec Tripeiros (en référence à la spécialité locale, les tripes à la mode de Porto et l'histoire des habitants). Les Portistas sont les supporters du plus grand club de la ville le FC Porto. Située au nord du Portugal sur la façade atlantique et sur le rio Douro, Porto est la capitale de la région Nord, sous-région ; Grande Porto, district de Porto et la Grande Aire Métropolitaine de Porto (GAM). La GAM de Porto inclut, entre autres, les municipalités de Vila Nova de Gaia, Matosinhos, Maia, Espinho, Santa Maria da Feira, São João da Madeira, Vila do Conde, Póvoa de Varzim, Valongo, Gondomar.



Porto a pour surnoms Cidade Invicta (« la ville invaincue ») et Capital do Norte (capitale du Nord). Elle a donné son nom au Portugal. Auparavant Porto s'appelait Portus, elle était la capitale du "Condado Portucalense", ou "Portucale".

Selon la légende, Cale, l'un des argonautes grecs arrive sur le site de l'embouchure du Douro et fonde la ville. Mais le choix du site n'est pas approprié à la navigation.

Les Romains changent l'emplacement de la ville sur la rive droite, pour construire un port, nommé Portus Cale. Saint Fabrice, un des premiers évêques de la ville est resté connu pour son martyr dans la ville de Tolède aux côtés de saint Philibert au iiie siècle. En 858, Porto est pillée par le chef viking Hasting1.

Avec l'essor de la ville se développe une seigneurie féodale, qui, au fil du temps, se fait appeler Portugal. Le comté de Portugal va du Minho au Douro. En 1096, Alphonse VI de Castille l'octroie à sa fille naturelle Thérèse, mariée avec Henri de Bourgogne. Leur fils, Alphonse Henri, est le premier souverain portugais.

En 1415, sous l'égide d'Henri le Navigateur (un des illustres fils de la ville), une importante expédition est mise sur pied pour la prise de Ceuta. La ville d'O Porto, chargée de l'approvisionnement de la flotte royale, est alors lourdement mise à contribution et doit se démunir de la plupart de ses vivres. Après le départ des soldats, les habitants doivent se contenter des aliments restants, soit les tripes et les abats, difficiles à conserver lors de campagnes militaires. C'est ainsi que par la suite le qualificatif de tripeiros (mangeurs de tripes) est utilisé pour désigner les habitants de Porto.[réf. nécessaire]
