Ponte de Ucanha
Bridge over the Varosa river, made up of five broken arches, the central arch being taller and wider. The inclined board forms an obtuse angle, with a parapet. On the right side of the bridge stands a tower. Both were built in the 12th century. It is the most complete and expressive example of a medieval bridge with a protection and toll tower.
