Anyone entering Salto and heading towards the town center will be struck by the imposing ecclesiastical image located at the top of Rua Padre Manuel José Jorge, on a granite parallel. This is Salto's old main church, perhaps the town's most iconic landmark. It's a romantically designed building that has undergone several structural renovations over time. On the north and south walls of the nave, glimpses of the perfect overlapping of the stones can be seen. Toward the rear of the church, aligned along the edge of the landscaped and well-kept churchyard, are four tombstones covered with lids, each decorated …

The Castle Church is one of two churches in the medieval area of the town. This church, which was the main church before the construction of the New Church, is actually very close to the castle. It is surrounded by many leafy trees, giving it a serene and peaceful atmosphere that is highly recognizable. Although medieval in origin, its current design likely dates back to the 17th century. Its bell tower, which, like many churches in the region, is separate from the main body of the temple, which it borders, deserves special mention. It consists of a nave and a …

This fortified settlement preserves part of the three lines of walls and a moat that partially surrounds it. It is strategically located on a bend in the Rabagão River, which is defended by it. In the middle wall, a gateway to the settlement can still be seen. Everything indicates that the fort developed primarily on the upper platforms, within the limits of the second wall, as ruins of fortified structures are visible there. The settlement is confined to the hilltop, with the exception of an extension of the outer wall into a natural recess, where some buildings can be identified. …

Of great historical value, comprises a manor house and hospital, an apothecary's shop, and a chapel with a cross along the Camino de Santiago. It is one of the few, if not the only, Morgadios in Portugal known to have been established by a pontifical order. The origin of this palace is closely linked to Santiago da Compostela, as the initial creation of the apothecary and hospital was intended to support pilgrims. The hospital would have capacity for 9 to 12 individuals and, apparently, was relatively well-equipped, as the charter of its establishment stipulated that it would offer olive oil …

A mixed dam, part gravity and part arch, fed by the Rabagão River, belonging to the Cávado River Basin. Completed in 1964, it stands 94 meters high and 1,897 meters long at the crest, with a maximum discharge capacity of 500 m3/s. It is the second-largest dam in Portugal, after the Alqueva Dam, and is highly sought after by fishermen. Other sports and leisure activities, such as surfing and motorboating, are also permitted.

The former Borralha mining estate encompassed the parishes of Salto and Venda Nova, as well as the parish of Campos, already in the municipality of Vieira do Minho. It comprised 36 concessions, totaling approximately 1,788 hectares. Of these concessions, 28 were for tungsten and tin, ten for tin, and two for tungsten, copper, and silver. These mines employed thousands of people, transformed and invigorated the area, and gave it national and international visibility.

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 believed that it served as a bridge for General Soult's troops on May 17, 1809, to flee from the pursuit of Wellesley's Anglo-Portuguese troops and flee the country. It is a solid granite structure that rises voluptuously about fifteen meters above a narrow gorge of the Rabagão River.

A medieval granite bridge over the Cávado River, with only a round arch supporting a significantly altered deck, where the original, slightly pronounced trestle can still be seen, and a remodeling in the modern period, probably in the 17th century, can be seen. The walls are poorly maintained, and the current flooring was recently installed. The intrados features some ashlars with inscriptions, which, along with the toponymy, point to a medieval chronology.

The restoration of the banks of the Cávado River has been carried out in sections, resulting in modern and very pleasant leisure areas. On an upper platform, there is the central square, a children's playground, a space for extreme sports (such as climbing, skateboarding, and rollerblading), a multisport facility, a multipurpose square, a stage for performances, and a bar. The Riverside Strip features a water mirror, prepared with a removable weir along the mill race wall and a granite embankment.
