Ponte da Misarela

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.
