In the XVI and XVII centuries the parishes started their demarcation surrounding the churches. These were built together or by the richest people and were called “Villas” or “Aldeyas”. The same proceeding happened in Paranhos, first called “Paramus”. This area was the centre of its initial population and the other “villas” gave origin to the different parishes. In 1837, more precisely at the 27th of September, Paranhos started to belong to Porto city. Until today this parish is increasing but maintains the initial rural characteristics like small shops where affability is dominant.

In this area, you can easily go to House of Music (Casa da Música) that was built for Porto 2001 (capital of culture) where various concerts of different kinds of music take place. It is located at Rotunda da Boavista Garden. You can also go to the garden Arca d’Água in Praça 9 de Abril. The garden has this name because in there you can find the old water reservoirs for Paranhos. These reservoirs were until the end of the XIX century the mainly supply of water to a lot of fountains spread all over Porto.
