The bridge, made of granite slabs, dates from the early 16th century and crosses the River Áncora on the Camino Real from Viana do Castelo to Caminha.

The "ponte da Torre" is a granite bridge built over the Âncora river in the 18th century. It connects Viana do Castelo with Caminha and serves pilgrims as well as the inhabitants of the town, who used to travel to nearby mills to grind grain.
