Dom Zameiro Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Dom Zameiro Bridge crosses the Ave River in a bucolic setting of vineyards and fields, connecting the parishes of Bagunte and Macieira da Maia. Although reminiscent of Roman architecture, its origins date back to the 12th or 13th centuries. Part of the old Via Veteriz, the medieval road that connected Porto to Barcelos and Esposende, it continues to welcome pilgrims today, with a small resting place. Windmills and a rural house complete the serene picture of a place where time seems to slow down.

Saint Michael of Arcos Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In Arcos, the highlight is its charming Romanesque bridge: the Ponte de São Miguel de Arcos, or simply Ponte de Arcos. It's estimated that this medieval bridge's origins date back to the 12th century. After years of supporting road traffic, it was freed from that burden in 2018 and is now pedestrian-only. A peaceful crossing with centuries of history beneath your feet.

Church of Saint John the Baptist of Vila do Conde

Highlight • Religious Site

The three-aisled Gothic church was built on the orders of King Manuel I of Portugal, who visited Vila do Conde on his pilgrimage to Santiago in 1502. In addition to its Gothic design, it also has Manueline and Plateresque style elements, such as the portal by João de Castilho, as well as traces of the Baroque. The tower, built in 1573, was designed by João Lopes.
