ビラ・ド・コンデの天然記念物・トップ7

The Castro de São Paio in Labruge, Vila do Conde, is one of the few coastal settlements from the Bronze and Iron Ages in Portugal. Several panels explain the archaeological finds from the pre-Roman period.

Too much car traffic

Very good course. It has technique and speed and a top track.

The sun and the sea, which will henceforth serve as the gateway to the city of Matosinhos, at the Exponor roundabout in Leça da Palmeira. The commemorative plaque was unveiled and, immediately afterwards, the metal wave crowned by an arch evocative of the sun began to gush water. Designed by Zulmiro de Carvalho, the work culminates the urban development carried out in that area and is based on a circular platform measuring 26 metres in diameter, made of stainless steel. The installed equipment, which continuously reuses water, enables the sequential execution of various water and light effects, and the sculptural ensemble is also equipped with an anemometric system that adjusts the water jets to the wind speed.

Nice big fountain ⛲️ in the middle of a roundabout.

Man and woman at the water games. Nice photo opportunity

Monument with a lot of history and Faith

Spectacular hillfort (castro in Portuguese) with history spanning from the Bronze Age, through the Iron Age, to the mediaeval period. It's not fenced off, you can freely wander around, just make sure to keep to the paths. It's not accessible by car, so you're very likely to have the place to yourself.
