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.

The little town of Ucanha is such a treasure. Park just outside of town and stroll around. They are creating a lovely park along the water and it will be a great place to stop for a picnic lunch. Beautiful area.

The male Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas was founded in 1156 and its construction started in 1168. It was in the late 16th century and during the 17th century that the monastery has the first great renovation works. The medieval cloister was transformed, around 1700, by another, in Baroque style. The maltese architect Carlos Gimach designed the latter and it was one of the most emblematic transformations in the monastery.

We stayed at a local town especially to visit this Monastery and we were not disappointed. Restoration work is being carried out but this did not detract from the visit.
