Penafiel, Municipality in Porto District, Portugal

Penafiel extends across 212 square kilometers of valleys at 335 meters elevation, containing 28 parishes within the Tâmega e Sousa region.

The territory received its municipality status from King Manuel I in 1519, later becoming an independent diocese separated from Porto in 1770.

The Menhir of Luzim and Monte Mozinho archaeological site present evidence of continuous settlement from prehistoric through Roman periods in this region.

The town connects to major transportation networks through its railway station on the Douro line and maintains direct road access to surrounding municipalities.

The São Vicente thermal springs provide mineral-rich waters used for therapeutic treatments, drawing visitors to specialized health facilities in the region.
