What better way to describe beautiful Porto than its motto?
Porto's famous motto is "Antiga, Mui Nobre, Sempre Leal e Invicta" which translates to "Ancient, Very Noble, Always Loyal, and Undefeated". Portuguese people refer to Porto as "a Invicta" because it was never defeated. Porto successfully resisted the Miguelist siege during the 1st Portuguese Civil War in 1832, which lasted one year. D. Pedro IV left his heart to the people of Porto as a way of thanking them for their loyalty and bravery. Porto's importance in Portuguese history can be traced back to the 12th century when Portugal was founded.
