    Tips

    February 6, 2023

    The origin of Ponte da Ermida possibly dates back to the end of the 15th century. A Royal Road passed through here, which intended to make the connection between the river port of Vila Nova da Rainha, and Caldas da Rainha. It was the route of the royal itineraries and the Court since D. João II, and was also frequently used by D. João V and D. Carlos.

    From this 15th-century Royal Road, all that remains is the emblematic Ponte da Ermida, a structured work of art built in dressed stone and its sumptuous Romanesque arch, or round arch.

    Due to the total lack of conservation and having to support loads (heavy agricultural machinery) for which it was not designed, it is currently at risk of collapsing, and its passage is even prohibited.
