Valença Fortress, also known as Praça-forte de Valença do Minho, is an imposing jewel of Portuguese military architecture with over eight centuries of history. Its origins date back to the 13th century, when King Sancho I and later Afonso III fortified it to protect the border with Galicia. During the Restoration War (17th–18th centuries), it was transformed into a Vauban-style fortress under the engineer Miguel de l’École and the architect Manuel Pinto de Vilalobos, being completed in 1713. The fortress withstood attacks during the Restoration, was captured and recaptured several times, and was also defended during the Napoleonic Wars and the Liberal Wars.

Barbeita Bridge - Mouro River - Monção - Portugal The bridge over the Mouro River is located in Ponte de Mouro, connecting Barbeita to Ceivães over the Mouro River, in Monção. It is known that a bridge existed at this location at least as early as 1386. It was here that, in that year, the historic meeting between King John I and the Duke of Lancaster, pretender to the throne of Castile, took place. The marriage of the Portuguese king to Philippa of Lancaster, the duke's daughter, was also arranged. The old bridge visible today underwent renovations in 1627.
