==History and landmarks==
When Portugal was established in the 12th century, Matosinhos already existed - it was called at that time ''Vila de Matesinum''. One of the first official records referring to ''Matusiny'' dates from 1258, the result of Afonso III inquiries. At that time Matosinhos was a humble place, part of the parish of Sandim. Matosinhos has some local landmarks such as Forte de Nossa Senhora Da Conceição.
In 2005, the municipality funded a public sculpture to be built in the Waterfront Plaza of Matosinhos. The resulting sculpture is entitled ''She Changes'' 〔() Sculpture Magazine July–August 2005〕 by American artist, Janet Echelman,〔(''She Changes'' ) Janet Echelman's website〕 and spans the height of 50x150x150 meters.
