Barco do Porto Quay

While there are no remaining visible clues, this was once the location of an important quay that has been referenced in various documents since the 15th century. It is believed however, that the quay is much older than that, most likely dating back to pre-roman times as it is located in a central point between locations.

The rights over the passage boat were managed by numerous families throughout the 17th and 18th century. In the 19th century a barge was used which could actually transport loaded animal-drawn carts, and even automobiles.
