...some Swabian kings also reside in the Roman city of Cale (modern Porto) at the mouth of the Douro River. Cale serves as a customs post between Galicia and Lusitania.
Over time, the city becomes known as Portucale, a combination of portus (port) and Cale. This name eventually extends to the surrounding territory on both banks of the Douro River, laying the foundation for the future name of Portugal.
