Salvaterra de Miño Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The original fortress was built almost a thousand years ago, back in the 10th or perhaps the 11th. The original wall that surrounds the castle dates from the 12th century and its main purpose was to defend the town from the constant attacks of the then Lusitanians (An Indo-European people living in the west of the Iberian Peninsula prior to its conquest by the Roman Republic and the subsequent incorporation of the territory into the Roman province of Lusitania.). In the 17th century, in the conflict of the Portuguese war of independence, it was completely renovated giving it its current appearance, although many defensive structures have disappeared over time. The plan of the fortress is rectangular and has no more and no less than 9,700 m2.

Very few years ago, the only way to cross the river and go to the neighboring country was by using the ferry that joined the two banks aided by a large metallic cable that made sure that the barge was not dragged by the waters of the river. The docks and the old border customs are still preserved.

Former Friestas station / halt

Highlight • Monument

Friestas station/stop was part of the Minho Line railway section that closed in 1990. In 2004, this railway section was converted into an eco-track, now known as the Dão Eco-track.

Friestas Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

The old Friestas Railway Station, once a stop on the Minho Line, has not received trains for over 40 years. Opened on 15 June 1913, it connected Valença to Lapela and was once served by trains between Porto - São Bento and Lapela. Today, all that remains is the memory of a time when the tracks still told stories of travel.
