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.

The Longos Vales Monastery is located in the parish of Longos Vales, in Monção, Portugal. The monastery was founded in the second half of the 12th century by D. Afonso Henriques, who granted it many incomes and privileges. Cardinal D. Henrique (later king) caused the monastery, dependencies and income to be given to the Society of Jesus, by bull from Pope Julius II, in 1551. The Jesuits completely renovated the monastery and from the original medieval construction, only the remaining main chapel. It has been classified as a National Monument since February 19, 1926.

In the 12th century it was the main border defense of Alto Minho, forming the northernmost guard post in Portugal on the section where the Minho River begins its border function and monitoring the crossing into Galicia (WIKIPEDIA). Today just a ruin. There is a small museum in the preserved keep.
