São João Baptista Fort and Lighthouse, Esposende
Highlight • Historical Site
This fortress was built between 1669 and 1702 and was declared a Site of Public Interest in 1982. It can currently be visited but as there are no maintenance services, it is in a state of complete abandonment.

Barcelos Medieval Bridge
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Barcelos Bridge is more than just an entrance to the city. It's a gateway to its legends, like that of the rooster.

Barcelos Rooster statue
Highlight • Monument
Nice city from 1140 with approximately 120,000 inhabitants. The symbol of the rooster from the legend of the man wrongly sentenced to the gallows is not only a symbol of the city but also a symbol of Portugal.
