Marco de Canaveses, Municipality in Porto District, Portugal
Marco de Canaveses spans across 201.89 square kilometers of varied terrain, with elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters in the northern Porto district.
The municipality, established in 1852, developed from multiple parishes and grew into a significant administrative center within the Tâmega e Sousa subregion.
The region preserves eight Romanesque churches and two civil monuments along a dedicated route, reflecting centuries of Portuguese architectural traditions.
Two major rivers, the Douro and Tâmega, provide natural boundaries and recreational opportunities through reservoirs at Carrapatelo and Torrão.
The Roman city of Tongobriga within the municipality contains archaeological remains that date back more than two thousand years.
