Pena Ventosa
Once called Pena Ventosa, or Windy Cliff, the first pre-Roman settlements of the city were built here. The first foundations of the Cathedral date back to the 6th century, when the Episcopal See was first transferred from Lousada to the city of Oporto, and the Suebi built the first defensive wall that surrounded the hill. Although at first a humble chapel was constructed on the ruins of a pre-roman temple, efforts were made to expand it, but by the 8th century, the arrival of Islamic forces halted its construction. Efforts to build a Cathedral would be repeatedly hindered as the attacks proceeded, until finally, in the 11th century, after driving Islamic forces out and the diocese was officially reinstated, the first Cathedral was built, just a little south from where it stands today.
