It stands over the Cabrum River, a fundamental element of the landscape that defines its natural surroundings. Its location offers an atmosphere of remarkable tranquility and serenity, which are defining features of this region.
Recognized as a National Monument since 1977, the Lagariça Bridge is a remarkable example of Portuguese medieval architecture. This imposing masonry structure is one of four ancient bridges that cross the Cabrum River in this area. Throughout its existence, the bridge has undergone several restoration and requalification projects, which have ensured the safeguarding of its original design and the preservation of its invaluable heritage value.
The area surrounding the Lagariça Bridge is an invitation to contemplation and contact with nature. The river, next to the bridge, forms a calm pool of water that, during the warmer months, is perfect for refreshing swims. The vicinity also hosts the ruins of an old mill, an element that complements the beauty of the scenery and the historical richness of the site, blending harmoniously into the natural landscape.
