Keep Tower of Chaves Castle
Highlight • Castle
At the time of the Christian Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, Chaves was initially taken from the Moors by Alfonso III of León (866-910), who ordered the reconstruction of its defenses. This original construction of the castle is attributed to Count Odoarius in the 9th century. In the first quarter of the 10th century, however, Chaves fell back under Moorish rule.

Trajan Bridge (Chaves Roman Bridge)
Highlight • Bridge
Approximately one hundred and fifty metres long and with a dozen visible arches, the works carried out in the 1930s covered some of the arches and others were still buried in the construction of the houses built there and overlooking the river.[citation needed]
In 2008 it became a pedestrian bridge.
