The medieval bridge over the Varosa River with its tower is a rare example of civil Gothic architecture in Portugal.

A charming village with a typically medieval feel, the town still consists of a small, romantic line of houses stretching along a narrow path, Rua Principal, Rua Direita, or simply Rua, since it is the only street in the village.
Winemaking, particularly elderberry, a strong presence in the village, continues to be the main source of livelihood.
The village's two landmarks stand proudly at the entrance to the old Couto de Salzedas. They are the Tower and the Ucanha Bridge, two rare gems of the Douro Heritage.
