Porto - The Invicta City

Informazioni

Porto is undoubtedly a magical city, full of stories and mysteries, which you are going to explore through the Invicta City Game!

Within this playlist, you will be involved in one of the most important periods of the history of our City and help D. Pedro IV to fulfill his dying wish!

This playlist has 3 main Activities in 3 very special locations! Each Activity will have a set of challenges that you will need to fulfill successfully in order to unlock the Activity Badge, and aim for the last and most important badge of all: The Invictus Knight!

Porto has a motto that pretty much tells a lot about its history: Antiga (Ancient), Mui Nobre (Very Noble), Sempre Leal (Always Loyal) e Invicta (and Undefeated) Cidade do Porto. Shortly, Porto is known as the Invicta, meaning that the city was never defeated!
But let’s go back to the 19th century to understand the origins of this famous title:
Porto never accepted the rise of the absolutist D. Miguel to power (1828) and when D. Pedro took command of the Liberal movement, he found a powerful ally in the people of the city.
Between July 1832 and August 1833, Porto City was completely surrounded by the troops of D. Miguel - “the Siege of Porto”, and its people fought back with all the strength, bravery and brightness until the troops retreated in defeat!
After the so-called Liberal War, a “new Portugal'' was born under the command of a liberal king - D. Pedro IV. Nevertheless, the Soldier King didn’t have much time to enjoy its victory, as he died from an infectious disease in 1835. His last will was to give his heart to the City of Porto, and a thankful act to its brave people, that should be placed in the most special place!
As D. Pedro IV couldn’t deliver his heart personally, you’ll be the Knight that will have this responsibility! Facing many challenges, solving mysteries and collecting historical evidence, you’ll find just the right place to deliver D. Pedro’s heart!
“Porto is not only a place… It’s a feeling!”

If you have reached this Final activity, it means that you have already conquered S. Bento and Sé do Porto, and you are ready for the 3rd Activity, starting on D. João street! On this final stage, you will be asked to fulfill 3 challenges in one of the most iconic places in Porto: Cais da Ribeira!

Once you successfully complete the 3 challenges, you will unlock the “The Knight of Ribeira Badge”!

The Cais da Ribeira is one of the oldest settlements with medieval origins, where commercial life began to grow along the side of Douro River. Not much has changed from this time, since the city has maintained its medieval housings, narrow and labyrinthic streets and old arcs!

This riverfront promenade is the best postcard of Porto: from Ribeira's colorful houses stacked like Lego bricks to the “barcos rabelos” that once used to transport port wine from the Douro.

Challenge 1:
Going down D. João street (Rua d. João), turning your back to the Douro River, you will find the Fountain of Praça da Ribeira. Right in the middle of this Fountain there is the representation of S. João Baptista (Saint John). In his honor we celebrate every year the Night of Saint John on the 24th of June with a lot of music, party, and a very very typical dish of this day! Find out what are the main ingredients of this special dish!



Challenge 2:
When the troops of D. Pedro IV arrived in Porto, his brother D. Miguel and his troops fled to the other side of the river (Gaia), to a place with a very particular building - a round Church! What is the name of this place? Take a picture of it!

Challenge 3:
This is your final mission: to fulfill D. Pedros’ last wish and deliver his heart to a very special place. Here are some clues to get there:
  • It is not a touristic place, as very few people know about his existence;
  • You need to go into the medieval streets of Ribeira;
  • It belongs to a particular house
  • Barreto is the name
  • 8/2(2+2)+3 is the number

_______________________________

Once you get there, you will finally give some rest and Good Fortune to the heart of D. Pedro IV!
As a reward, you will be greeted with Good Fortune in your life as well!

"Do good and good will come to you!"
