Enrique Estévez
February 25, 2026, Pathway With Green Arches, Parque das Caldas

It is part of the path that starts in Monçao and goes towards Melgaço; nearby there is a parking and recreation area and at least one cafeteria.

The wooden walkways stretch along the city walls of Monção and the banks of the Minho River to the stunning Parque das Caldas, always with views of neighboring Galicia. Inaugurated in 2021, they are a great way to reach Fortaleza de Monção.

With the town's coat of arms incorporated into the pavement in front of the Palace of Justice, the new face of the Republic Square, with its three fountains with symbols of Mono (Alvarinho, Termas and Coca), green areas, pergola, benches, eucalyptus trees, increased street lighting and wider walkways, is already something to behold.

The Danaide Fountain is the most important in Monção and takes its name from the statue that crowns it, at whose base the name "Danaide" can be read. In her right hand, the woman carries a sieve. The original fountain was built in 1837, a little further towards the square. Water flowed from the column, which was collected by the population and also fed a pond where clothes could be washed and livestock watered. In 1869, the column was renovated and engraved with the coat of arms of the city of Monção. In the 1940s, the fountain was remodeled, making it less useful and serving only as a decorative object. The column was placed in its current location.

The town square and the Visitors' Hall owe their name to the local heroine who saved the city from the Castilian invasion in the 14th century through a courageous and cunning act. Her courage is immortalized in a coat of arms and a monument. Lined with trees and paved with Portuguese cobblestones, it is a popular meeting place for the city's social and cultural activities.
