Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria dos Anjos de Ponte de Lima

Highlight • Religious Site

The main church of Ponte de Lima remains faithful to the Romanesque style of the North, despite being built at a time when Gothic architecture was widely expanding. The church was completed in the mid-15th century, and later, during the reign of D. Manuel I, its tower was completed.
This was not the first main church of Ponte de Lima; it previously operated in a hermitage of the Brotherhood of the Holy Spirit. With the development of the town of Limiana, it became necessary to build a larger church.

Ecovia of the Lima River: Ponte de Barca

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The tour is classified by Komoot as “easy” and for beginners without special fitness or skills. That is certainly not appropriate. The route is very hilly with some short but steep climbs and descents at around 15 - 20%, partly on soft sand and gravel, which is difficult or impossible to manage with touring bike tires (push!), especially after rain. But it is a very beautiful route that is worth the effort!
