A medieval bridge spanning the Rabagão River, connecting the parishes of Ferral and Ruivães. Locals call it "Hell's Bridge" or "Devil's Bridge" due to its distinctive appearance, due to its steep terrain.

It is a solid granite structure that rises voluptuously about fifteen meters above a narrow gorge of the Rabagão River.
