Fonte dos Nenos

Highlight • Monument

The Children's Fountain in Pontevedra is one of the most emblematic points of the city. It is located in the Glorieta de Compostela and is known for its sculpture of two girls waiting for a boy who is drinking at the fountain. Although it is popularly called “the children's fountain”, its official name was established in 1950 because the Portuguese Way passed through it. An interesting visit if you are in the area! 😊

Ponte do Burgo

Highlight • Bridge

PONTE DO BURGO. A symbol of the city and a deep-rooted myth is that of its foundation by Teucer, a Greek archer, who traveled to the West after the Trojan War to build the town. Thus, the road and the bridge are the origin of the foundation of the city. In the S. XII, under the reign of Fernando II, the city appears for the first time under its current name. Formed by eleven lowered semicircular arches, it is made of medieval ashlar masonry. Much modified by later enlargements.
