Both towers are classified as buildings of "public interest," as is the wall connecting them, the Tower of Cadeia Velha and the Tower of S. Paulo (once also known as the Tower of S. Paulo). They are the most prominent witnesses to what remains of the old wall of Ponte de Lima, which, in addition to the walled structure, consisted of towers and doors, a group of buildings built during the reign of Pedro I in the 14th century.

Just before reaching Ponte de Lima on the Portuguese Way, a small altar leaning against a tree invites you to pause. Surrounding it are messages of all kinds—some funny, some moving, all with the soul of a pilgrim. The generous tree offers shade and shelter. It's the perfect place to take a deep breath, recharge your batteries, and refill your bottle before continuing on your journey.

The ex-libris of Ponte de Lima, which together with the river that bathes the town, gave the town its name, is its bridge. In reality, it is a group formed by two bridges: a larger medieval section, which begins on the left bank and extends to the Church of Santo António da Torre Velha and also passes through it in two arches. Then, the remaining section of the Roman bridge. There are only five arches from the large arch that is on a dry bed. If you go down you will also see the foundations of the Old Tower, perhaps the first of the medieval defensive system. The Roman bridge probably dates back to the 1st century, since it was at that time that the route of one of the military roads of the former "Conventus Bracaraugustanus", which connected Braga to Astorga, was opened, in this case Via XIX, ordered to be opened by the Emperor Augustus. As regards the medieval part, although we can go back in time, at least to the reigns of D. Pedro I and D. Fernando, due to a direct connection to the construction of the walls and towers that fortified the town, a work completed in 1370 , or even D. Dinis, taking into account documentation that mentions a bridge, which could also, at that time, be made of wood, we know of its existence during the reign of D. Manuel I, more precisely in 1504, because this monarch had new paving was ordered and merlons were installed to decorate the bridge, as they were no longer justified as a defensive and military option.

The town is dominated by watchtowers, built in the fourteenth century, which, together with the whitewashed houses, make it an attractive town. Some women still go to the river to wash their clothes and hang them on the banks of the river to dry. In addition to the bridge, there are many beautiful palaces and country houses in the city and the surrounding area

The original Roman bridge was rebuilt around Middle Ages. She is always impressive, no matter how old she really is. What's annoying is that the huge parking lot runs right up to and under the bridge.

Lenda do Rio Lethes This is the name of the monument to the Roman Legion, which formed in 135 BC. BC was located on the left bank of the Lima River and commanded by Decius Junius Brutus, where the troops refused to cross the river. The beauty of the place formerly known as Lethes River said that anyone who crossed the river would lose their memory and forget all their memories. The Roman soldiers refused to cross it, so the Roman commander crossed it and called each soldier by his name, this was the way to prove that it was not the river of oblivion, currently the river gives to the oldest Village in Portugal takes its name.

This cycle route is very different from the one that runs along the Minho River: the surface is not paved, but gravel and, in some short sections, a bit rocky and muddy. I rode it in August and found it to be very uncrowded. The fact that it is not particularly well maintained gives you the opportunity to enjoy a more authentic natural environment.
