Church and Bridge of São Gonçalo in Amarante

Highlight • Religious Site

A bridge with a horizontal deck over three unequal round arches, the central one being the largest. The pillars have triangular buttresses upstream and downstream. The parapet protecting the bridge deck rests on a carved tubular cornice. Crowning the buttresses, four semicircular balconies with stone benches open onto the deck. At each end, the bridge boasts two pairs of faceted Baroque spires resting on small spheres.

St. Gonçalo Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

When the water is very calm, the middle archway is a perfect semicircle, which is then complemented by the reflection in the water to form a full circle. A Roman bridge is said to have stood here in the past, as Amarante is on the Roman road towards Braga and Guimares. In 1790 the bridge was opened to traffic after it had been destroyed by a flood and had to be rebuilt.

Church and Monastery of São Gonçalo de Amarante

Highlight • Religious Site

This church is actually a monastery, a Dominican monastery. It is dedicated to Blessed Gonçalo, who is also the patron saint of this town. The monastery was built in the 16th century, and parts of it now serve as the town hall and a museum. It's very sustainable.
