Ucanha

Following the path of the Route of the Cistercian Vineyards Ucanha I got to visit the Fortified bridge , which is a remarkable medieval building, the only one in Portugal to be named a Portuguese National Monument. Ucanha is a small town in the area of TAROUCA, only 5 square kilometers with about 400 inhabitants. It's situated on the banks of the Varosa river and surrounded by vineyard landscapes. Until 1836 it was the seat of the concello.
