Because of its numerous baroque churches, Porto is also known as the “baroque city”. Nicolau Nasoni, architect of Italian origin, is responsible for the city's important baroque buildings. The image of the historic old town is shaped less by special individual buildings than by the overall structure of a preserved inner city. The numerous granite buildings are characteristic. The oldest existing hotel is the Grande Hotel do Porto, which opened in 1880. The oldest concrete skyscraper in the city is the Hotel Dom Henrique.

Porto is a coastal city in northwestern Portugal, known for its imposing bridges and port production. In the medieval district of Ribeira, the narrow cobblestone streets are lined with merchant houses and cafes. The Iglesia de San Francisco is known for its extravagant baroque interior, with ornate carvings covered in gold. The 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa, formerly a stock exchange, was built to impress would-be European investors.
