Oporto is a port in POrtugal but it is not the capital,that is Lisbon- setters error
Porto and Oporto are the same place. Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, Porto is in the north region ( not sure if it is a regional capital)
O port (left) o
any help? The city's actual name is Porto, but when preceded by a definite article 'O' in Portuguese meaning 'the' in English, it is written as 'o Porto' meaning 'the port' in English. As a result, the English name evolved from oral evolution, is now referred to as 'Oporto' in modern literature.
Along with being the second-largest Portuguese city after Lisbon, Oporto is also one of the most prominent urban areas in Southern Europe. Its rich history which dates back to many centuries enriches its cultural wealth as the city is one of the oldest European centers. Varied historical monuments including the cathedral with its Romanesque choir, neoclassical Stock Exchange and the typical Portuguese Manueline-style Church of Santa Clara depict cultural richness.
