Paredes, Municipality in Porto District, Portugal

The municipality of Paredes spans across 156.76 square kilometers in northern Portugal and encompasses 18 distinct administrative parishes within its boundaries.

Established in 1836, Paredes evolved from a medieval settlement with a castle in Aguiar de Sousa to receive its town status through Queen Maria II in 1844.

The municipality contains four cities - Paredes, Rebordosa, São Salvador de Lordelo, and Gandra - each contributing to the regional heritage and social fabric.

Located 24 kilometers from Porto, Paredes maintains strong transportation connections to neighboring municipalities through an extensive network of major roadways.

Archaeological discoveries in Paredes reveal human settlements dating back 5000 years, including a pre-Roman castro at Montanha do Muro and Roman gold mining sites.
