Settled since Celtic times, Viseu came to prominence under the Romans, who built a walled city here, the remains of which can still be seen. Its position, central to Medieval Portugal, made it a natural seat of power in those times and it may be the birthplace of Afonso Henriques – the founding father of Portugal.
Nowadays the city is quite genteel and serves as the main centre for the Dão wine region – one of Portugal’s oldest and most important regions.
