Discover this place

The ancient bridge of Moimenta allows you to observe two times on the same crossing. The Municipality assigns it medieval origin and describes a horizontal board over a single round arch.

In 1990, the passage was extended about a metre. The intervention added a concrete structure on the downstream side, where the water follows, and modified the guards. This detail helps to understand why an old bridge can present more recent materials and solutions.

Located in Cavez, it is presented by the Municipality as a Public Interest Property. The photograph of this form shows the crossing of Moimenta; it should not be confused with the Ponte de Cavez, five arches, over the Tâmega.
