Location:
Maia is a Portuguese municipality belonging to the District of Porto with an area of 82.99 km².
The municipality of Maia received a charter in 1519, although there are prehistoric traces of human presence and references to this town that date back to the Roman Empire. The history of this city is often confused with the destiny of Portugal, particularly during the independence process, with special emphasis on Goncalo Mendes da Maia, 'O Lidador'.
Maia has a duality resulting from the intersection of a historical past with a new era of development.
On one hand, there are strong individual identities of each part of the municipality, derived from millenary cultural, historical, and religious roots, mainly in rural areas, where agriculture predominates; On the other hand, Maia is currently one of the most advanced municipalities in the country, with an important role in industry, innovation, and new technologies, constituting an exemplar of economic and environmental development.
On August 23, 1986, the villages of Castelo da Maia (parishes of Barca, Gemunde, Gondim, Santa Maria de Avioso and Sao Pedro de Avioso) and Aguas Santas (homonymous parish) were elevated to the category of town, and the town of Maia (parishes of Maia, Vermoim and Gueifaes) was elevated to the category of city, an event celebrated with the construction of the Pyramids of Maia.
Culture and Leisure:
The city of Maia is considered to be an important cultural center in the region, with various activities linked to theater, music, plastic arts, and local traditions such as ethnographic manifestations visible in the religious festivals that take place throughout the year.

Annually, the city receives at Forum da Maia the International Comic Theater Festival of Maia and the World Press Photo world exposition.
In 1998, the Conservatorio de Musica da Maia was founded, located in Santa Maria de Avioso.
