Igreja do Carmo: The Tiled Wall
- Historic Center: Granite, Gold, and the River: The complete descent through old Porto, from the baroque tower and tiled upper town down the granite hill to the working river and the great iron bridge. A city that wears its glory on its surfaces, in gold and glazed blue tile, but is built, always, on its river.
- Ribeira: The City of the River: A descent through granite and gold, from the fortress cathedral on the windy hilltop to the great iron bridge, reading Porto as a city that was built by its river and finally learned to cross it.
