#history 

The country of Portugal takes its name from one of its greatest cities, Porto, which is second in size only to Lisbon. Originally built by the Celts at the mouth of the Douro River, Portus Cale was taken over by the Romans in the fourth century, who turned it into a significant commercial port. 

Theodoric II, King of the Visigoths, attacked it in 456; he held it under his rule until 716, when it was conquered by Moorish Muslims. In 868, Alfonso III of Asturias led a battle against the Muslims to take Portus Cale. Portugal became a political entity in the next years.

Jardim do Palácio de Cristal, Rua Dom Manuel II, 4050-346

The Jardim do Palácio de Cristal,  located near the Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis, is an 8-hectare park with excellent views of the River Douro in Porto from its southern terrace. The gardens were created by German architect Émille David and previously housed a 19th century iron and glass Crystal Palace, which has since been replaced with a contemporary dome, the Pavilho Rosa Mota, which serves as a venue for performances and exhibits.

'Wandering Through' is a collection of footage exploring different places, spaces and sounds through walking.
