About
The most well-Known bridge over the Varosa river is the Ucanha bridge. It was probably built during the 14th-15th century and replaced another Roman bridge. The tower by the bridge was built in 1465 by the initiative of D. Fernando, abbot of Santa Maria de Salzedas monastery. The tower was the entrance to the mosnastic "couto" (land) and served as a toll that the travelers had to pay for crossing it.
