This museum recounts the history of the Porto region and is an excellent starting point to understand the historical and cultural heritage of the city called "Invicta" (undefeated). The journey takes place in a time machine, from the first civilizations that inhabited this territory, its times and setbacks, the age of Discoveries, the French Invasions, the Civil War and the Siege of Porto.

Everything culminates in the Industrial Revolution and later in today's prosperity, in a fortunate Porto.Across a cinema room, a video mapping show and a life-size replica of a tram, this museum dynamically reveals the character of a region and its people: a concentrate of vigor and energy, of affability and clearance.
