Senra de Cima House/Palace (Ribeira de Pena): this monument is an outstanding evidence of the civil architecture from the 18th century. According to tradition, the carpenters and stone-cutters that took part in the Palace building, initiated a building school, that stayed on this region over the last two centuries. This house is composed by a stoned balcony, with high decorative elements and connected to it there’s Our Lady of the Assumption Chapel. Wire Bridge (Ribeira de Pena): the Wire Bridge or the Pênsil Bridge crosses the Tâmega river, connecting Ribeira to Santo Aleixo d’Além Tâmega. This is an element that fascinates who visits the district. Two steel cables support the bridge and its entrances were made in granite. It was built to serve the populations of both sides of the river and it was until 1963, when the modern bridge at the EN312 was built, the only crossing point for those people. Bragadas’s Leisure Park (Ribeira de Pena): this park is located on a wide forestal spot and offers the visitors a kinder garden, grillers, water, sanitary installations, tables and garbage collection. It’s ideal for groups and families.
