Description

This monument is linked to several pagan beliefs and legends, one of which attributes the construction of the bridge to a pact between a fugitive and the devil, which earned him the epithet “Ponte do Diabo”. During the French Invasions, on May 17, 1809, Soult's French army passed through here, fleeing the persecution of Wellesley's Anglo-Portuguese troops.

The construction of the bridge dates back to the Middle Ages and has been classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1958.
