Castelo de Monção (vestígios)
Of the original castle, built by D. Dinis in 1306, only two gates and some sections of the medieval wall remain. Examples of the 17th-century fortification include the Salvaterra Gate, some curtain walls, and bastions. The tower, a contemporary of D. Pedro I and D. Fernando, is another surviving element of the fortress.
