Built during the Roman period, it is an important vestige of that people's presence in the municipality. The Roman presence in the parish of Muge is clearly evident in the area of Porto de Sabugueiro. The most striking vestiges of this historical period are found here. Porto de Sabugueiro, due to its proximity to the Tagus River, was an important river port during the Roman period. Excavations and published studies define this location as an important Roman village, with ceramic production, due to the existence of a ceramic kiln found here in the 1960s. Approximately 400 meters from this location is the Roman Bridge, which crosses the Muge stream. The construction techniques used, especially in the larger arch, undoubtedly indicate a Roman origin; however, the two smaller arches, due to their typology, are attributable to the Middle Ages. This bridge was one of the main crossing points connecting Muge to the interior of the country (Alentejo) and to the city of Santarém. It possesses undeniable historical value, forming part of the memory and heritage identity of the municipality of Salvaterra de Magos. (Source: www.salvaterrademagos.pt)

Delicious bifana to recharge your batteries :)

Not recommended at the moment. The wet, sandy ground is often completely under water. A parallel, higher route is already partially under construction.

Nice, quiet section of the path.

Roman bridge, renovated in medieval times, which crosses the Muge stream, with a pebble deck and guardrails opened through slits, resting on 3 unequal arches, with a perfect turn. From the construction apparatus used, especially the larger arch, it is undoubtedly Roman in origin, however the other two smaller arches, due to their typology, are attributable to the Middle Ages. This Bridge was once one of the main crossing points, which connected Muge, both to the interior of the country (Alentejo) and to the city of Santarém.

Picnic area with water and bathroom, tables, swings and an amazing view over the Sorraia river.
