The Ponte dos Arcos is a 19th-century historic structure in Valongo, Portugal. Built to irrigate the fertile lands of Campo, it also served as a pedestrian crossing. Recently restored, it is now an icon of local heritage.

An imposing C14 fortified manor house stands at the end of the village and shares a wall with a contemporary building. It has been impressively restored inside with wooden stairs and floors. There's also a art mini gallery, with pictures and sculptures created by local artists. There's a Tourist Information Centre next to the tower but it looks closed for good. A kind lady from the house on the right of the entrance gate opened the Torre for me and showed me around. Obrigado :) https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/tower-of-the-alcoforados/

The parish church was built in C13 but after the C17 alterations, only the chancel retains the original Romanesque features. Make a sure you visit the nearby Rota do Românico interpretation centre to find out more about the route and get a free map and a stamp book. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/church-of-saint-peter-of-abragao/

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/

The Benedectine monastery in this site was founded in 985, or even earlier, according to some researchers. What we can see today is a Romanesque facade from C10, and Gothic nave, apse, tower and cloister, added between C12 and C15. In 1551 King João III transferred the ownership of the monastery to the College of the Grace of the Hermits of Saint Augustine in Coimbra. The interior can be visited by prior appointment. https://www.rotadoromanico.com/en/Monuments/monastery-of-saint-peter-of-cete/

An interesting aqueduct constructed in 1875-78. It helped develop local maize cultivation. In 2013 it was converted into a pedestrian crossing over the River Ferreira.

Apparently from the town of Sobrado hark as many as four Volta a Portugal cycling race winners. Quite an achievement.
