Viseu is a historic city located in central Portugal, serving as the capital of the Viseu District. The city has a rich history dating back to Roman times, with archaeological evidence still visible in various parts of the urban center.
During the Middle Ages, Viseu developed into an important religious and administrative center, which is reflected in its impressive Cathedral (Sé de Viseu) that combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Mannerist architectural styles. The city is also known for its connection to Vasco Fernandes, a prominent 16th-century Portuguese painter also known as Grão Vasco, whose works can be found in the Grão Vasco National Museum.
The surrounding region is famous for the production of Dão wines and maintains strong cultural traditions in handicrafts, particularly in the areas of pottery and embroidery. The city center features well-preserved medieval streets, renaissance-era buildings, and numerous churches that showcase the evolution of Portuguese religious architecture.
