    Hiking

    The Porta Nova of Monforte de Lemos is one of the most important vestiges of the city's medieval walls and is of great historical and architectural value. It was rebuilt after the Irmandiña War (1467–1469), a popular revolt against the Galician nobility.
    It is located in the historic center of Monforte de Lemos, near the Monastery of San Vicente do Pino and the Parador de Turismo, and forms part of the city's monumental complex.
