Baião, Municipality in Porto District, Portugal
The municipality of Baião spans across 175 square kilometers in northern Portugal, bordered by Amarante to the north and Marco de Canaveses to the west.
King Manuel I established Baião as a municipality through an official charter on September 1, 1513, marking its formal administrative recognition within Portugal.
The megalithic ensemble at Aboboreira Mountain and Santo André de Ancede Convent from 1113 represent significant archaeological and religious structures in the region.
