Viseu, Administrative district in Central Portugal
The district of Viseu extends across 5,007 square kilometers of central Portugal, containing 24 municipalities and 372 parishes within its boundaries.
Established in 1835 as part of Portugal's administrative reorganization, Viseu district emerged from the former Beira Alta province following French departmental models.
The district maintains strong connections to wine production, particularly through the Dão Wine Institute and regional vineyards that shape local traditions.
Eight parliamentary representatives serve the district's 394,927 inhabitants, managing regional affairs through municipal councils and local assemblies.
The district's geographical position between mountains creates varying climate patterns, with temperature differences between coastal and inland regions throughout the year.
