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.

The Romanesque Cathedral of Santa María with Gothic influences is a fortress-like cathedral that was begun in 1120 but not consecrated until 1225. Its cloister (13th century) is worth mentioning, the only complete medieval cloister that has been preserved in a cathedral in Galicia, and the Santiago Chapel inside the church. The interior can be visited for €3, and you can get your pilgrim stamp at the ticket office.
