Genoa is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. In 2015, 594,733 people lived within the city. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, had 855,834 resident persons. Over 1.5 million people live in the wider metropolitan area stretching along the Italian Riviera.
On the Gulf of Genoa in the Ligurian Sea, Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth busiest in the European Union.
Genoa was the capital of one of the most powerful maritime republics for over seven centuries, from the 11th century to 1797. Particularly from the 12th century to the 15th century, the city played a leading role in the commercial trade in Europe, becoming one of the largest naval powers of the continent and considered among the wealthiest cities in the world. It was also nicknamed la Superba (“the proud one”) by Petrarch due to its glories on the seas and impressive landmarks.
The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is the oldest known state deposit bank in the world and has played an important role in the city’s prosperity since the middle of the 15th century.
The historical center, also known as old town, of Genoa is one of the largest and most-densely populated in Europe. Part of it was also inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006 as Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli.
Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of Northwest Italy, is one of the country’s major economic centers.

Ainda assim, Bragança vai, a pouco e pouco, consolidando a sua posição dominante na região, do ponto de vista administrativo, militar e religioso. Em meados do século XIII Bragança conta já com quatro freguesias: Santa Maria (na “vila”), São Tiago (também no intramuros e hoje já desaparecida, provavelmente situada na zona do actual pelourinho), São João (no extramuros, situada em frente do actual Governo Civil, no local da implantação do edifício hoje pertença da Câmara) e São Vicente.
Braga é a 3ª maior cidade portuguesa, nascida da antiga cidade romana de Bracara Augusta. Guimarães, classificada Património Cultural da Humanidade pela UNESCO, é conhecida por ser o “berço da nação”. A estrutura organizacional da Universidade é flexível e favorável à inovação e à interdisciplinaridade, potenciando a exploração de áreas de investigação emergentes. As Unidades Orgânicas de Ensino e Investigação – Escola e Institutos – são as estruturas base da Universidade: Escolas de Arquitetura, de Ciências, de Direito, de Economia e Gestão, de Engenharia, de Medicina, de Psicologia e Escola Superior de Enfermagem, e Institutos de Ciências Sociais, de Educação e de Letras e Ciências Humanas.
Os cursos e projetos de investigação possuem um forte reconhecimento internacional. A UMinho é uma universidade de investigação, comprometida com a cadeia de valorização do conhecimento: Investigação, Desenvolvimento e Inovação, e está também voltada para a envolvente socioeconómica, possuindo inúmeras parcerias de sucesso em projetos de investigação, culturais e de desenvolvimento socioeconómico.
A internacionalização representa um forte compromisso e as atividades internacionais são muito intensas, não só no espaço da UE e dos PALOP, mas também com diversos outros países, de vários continentes.

Durante o período dos Flávios, Bracara Augusta recebeu o estatuto municipal e foi elevada a sede do conventus, tendo tido funções administrativas sobre uma extensa região. A partir da reforma de Diocleciano passou a ser a capital da recente província da Gallaecia e no século V a cidade foi tomada pelos invasores suevos, que a escolheram como capital do seu reino.
