In Puerto Quintela, in the Bande Town Hall, just 8 km. from the capital of the municipality, the Roman archaeological complex Aquis Querquennis is located, in the heart of the Baixa Limia – Serra do Xurés natural park, a World Biosphere Reserve and cross-border park.
The Vía Nova or Vía XVIII, the main Roman road that linked Braga and Astorga, crosses the place.

They are not just ruins. This Ourense site, in addition to being the best-studied military settlement of the time, is submerged several months a year by the waters of the Las Conchas reservoir
