Lamego (luh-MIH-goo, /ɫɐ.ˈme.gu/) is an ancient city (the oldest in the kingdom of Portugal), dating back to Roman times. It was definitively regained in 1057 by Fernando Magno de Leão from the Moors. It was in Lamego that the legendary Cortes de Lamego took place, where D. Afonso Henriques was acclaimed the first King of Portugal in 1140. Lamego can be accessed via the A24, which connects the city to both Viseu and Vila Real (and from there to Porto ).
