Minho (pron. IPA: ['miɲu]) is a historical province of Portugal. It was established as an official province in 1936 and dissolved in 1976. It consisted of 23 municipalities, with its capital in the city of Braga. Today, the area would include the districts of Braga and Viana do Castelo. Minho also has some Celtic influence and shares many cultural traits with neighbouring Galicia. The region was part of the Roman Province and early mediaeval Kingdom of Gallaecia. Historical remains of Celtic Minho include Briteiros Iron Age Hillfort, the largest Gallaecian native stronghold in the Entre Douro e Minho region, in North Portugal.
The area currently consists of two districts: Viana do Castelo and Braga.
