Porto, Portugal, 1935-present
Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal. The urban area of Porto, which extends beyond the administrative limits of the city, has a population of 1.3 million and is one of the oldest European centres, registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The gyronny of eight is typical for Portuguese city flags. The coat of arms shows Baby Jesus with his mother Mary on a castle, a mural crown with five towers to show that Porto is a city, and the collar of the Sword and Tower Order, which is the pinnacle of the Portuguese honours system.
“ANTIGA, MUI NOBRE, SEMPRE LEAL E INVICTA CIDADE DO PORTO” means “Ancient, most noble, always loyal and undefeated city of Porto” and refers to the fact, that Porto has never been conquered militarily either by the Romans, the Moors or the French Napoleonic armies.
