Biografie

Porto is one of the oldest European towns, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the name "Portugal", based on transliteration and oral evolution from Latin.

Known as the city of bridges, Porto built its first permanent bridge, the Ponte das Barcas (a pontoon bridge), in 1806. Three years later, it collapsed under the weight of thousands of fugitives from the French Invasions during the Peninsular War, causing thousands of deaths. It was replaced by the Ponte D maria II, built between 1841–43 and popularised under the name Ponte Pênsil (suspended bridge). Now, only its supporting pylons have remained.

The Ponte D maria, a railway bridge, was inaugurated on 4 November of that same year. It was considered a feat of wrought iron engineering and was designed by Gustave Eiffel, notable for his tower in Paris. The later Ponte Dom Luis I replaced the aforementioned Ponte Pênsil.This last bridge was made by Teophile Seyrig, a former partner of Eiffel. Seyrig won a governmental competition that took place in 1879. The bridge was opened to the public on 31 October 1886.
