Amarante, Administrative center in Porto, Portugal.
The municipality of Amarante extends across 301 square kilometers in northern Portugal, with the Tâmega River flowing through its center.
King John III authorized the expansion of a local church into a Dominican monastery during the 16th century, enhancing the religious presence in Amarante.
In 2017, Amarante received recognition from UNESCO by joining the Creative Cities Network as a City of Music.
The municipality contains 26 civil parishes, including Aboadela and Vila Caiz, each with designated postal codes for efficient administrative management.
The Ponte São Gonçalo bridge became a strategic point during the Peninsular War, where Portuguese and English forces defended against French troops.
