Ponte Almirante Sarmento Rodrigues

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is notable for its six curvilinear polygonal arches, with a total length of 232 metres. In 1973, it was named after Admiral Sarmento Rodrigues, a prominent Portuguese politician and military man. The structure is an outstanding example of bridge engineering of the period and remains an important landmark in the region.

Barca d'Alva Train Station Azulejo

Highlight • Monument

The Barca d'Alva train station retains some traditional Portuguese tiles decorating its main building, despite its state of disrepair. These tiles, typical of Portugal's railway heritage, often depict rural scenes, landscapes of the Douro River, or classic decorative motifs in blue and white.
