Matosinhos, Coastal municipality in Porto District, Portugal
Located between Porto and Vila do Conde, Matosinhos extends over 62 square kilometers along the Atlantic Ocean with several golden sand beaches.
King Manuel I granted Matosinhos its municipal charter in 1514, recognizing its role as an agricultural supplier to the growing city of Porto.
The Mercado de Matosinhos, housed in a 1950s modernist building, displays the maritime heritage through numerous fish and produce vendors.
The Porto Metro system connects Matosinhos to central Porto, while Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport partially operates within the municipal boundaries.
The Port of Leixões, constructed in the late 19th century, developed into Portugal's second-largest artificial port, supporting local fishing and industrial activities.
