A bridge with a horizontal deck over three unequal round arches, the central one being the largest. The pillars have triangular buttresses upstream and downstream. The parapet protecting the bridge deck rests on a carved tubular cornice. Crowning the buttresses, four semicircular balconies with stone benches open onto the deck. At each end, the bridge boasts two pairs of faceted Baroque spires resting on small spheres.

Small narrow streets to discover in the not so small village

The waterfall cascades down a steep rock face, formed by large boulders and outcrops of dark and gray stone. The water, a brilliant white color, splits into multiple streams as it descends, creating a multi-layered effect. Around the waterfall and along the rocky slopes, vegetation is sparse but tenacious.

The path is well signposted throughout.

Beautiful old town and great old bridge.

Thoroughly impressive complex run by the Benedictine monks from 1041 to 1834, when all the religious orders in Portugal were dissolved. From the original Romanesque church only the front portal survives, the rest was reconstructed and expanded many times during the Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical periods. Perhaps the most surprising element is the incomplete cloister accessible by stepping through the door to the right of the church. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-mary-of-pombeiro/
