It was a town and county seat until the early 19th century.The castle in a dominant position over the Penentada hill, dominates the surrounding plain and the confluence of the Angueira stream with the Maçãs river. At the time of the Christian reconquest of the Iberian peninsula, the primitive line of limits between the Portucalense county and the kingdom of Leão developed along the left bank of the River Sabor until its confluence with the Angueira stream. This lane was guarded by four main sentinels: the Castelo de Milhão, the Castelo de Santulhão (both already missing), the Outeiro de Miranda Castle (in ruins) and this Algoso Castle. The castles of Penas Roias, Mogadouro and, although more distant, that of Bragança complemented this main defense of the northeastern sector.

In the village of Mogadouro, a visit to its historic center is essential, where we find the Castle of Mogadouro, the Mother Church of Romanesque origin, although it has been replaced by the temple that we can now see in the center of the village, the Misericórdia Church, the pillory Solar dos Pegados and Convento de S. Francisco, adjacent to the church of the same name, whose foundation dates back to the first decades of the 17th century and is due to D. Luis Álvares de Távora. Scattered throughout the municipality, the castros, churches with Romanesque origins such as Algosinho and Azinhoso, the pillories, and the traditional buildings that we can discover in the villages of the municipality are indelible marks of a vast and extremely rich heritage.

The city of Mirandela is located in the Vale do Rio Tua, in a flat area of very fertile soils where olive trees are cultivated. Around it, there are many hills and, for these reasons, in Mirandela there is a microclimate characterized by hot and muggy summers, which give it the name Terra Transmontana Hot. The city is at an altitude of 210 meters to 280 meters. Mirandela's soil is predominantly schist. Mirandela was elevated to the category of city in 1984. The city of Mirandela, which is supposed to have been called Caladunum, is now the second largest municipality in the district of Bragança, and is subdivided into 30 parishes. It is located north of the Douro River. In 1250 King Afonso III was assigned a charter to the city. This letter served to delimit the territory, making it possible to establish socio-economic relations.

A preserved village in the Montesinho Natural Park, located 1020m above sea level, with houses of typical architecture from this area of Trás-os-Montes and shale roofs. It is 30 minutes from Bragança, and 40 minutes from Pueblo de Sanabria. Quite sought after by foreign tourists, for the variety of trekking routes and landscape quality.

Aveleda and Rio de Onor form the parish table, in the Montesinho Natural Park. The Pepim River runs through the village of Aveleda. Born in the mountain range of Pedralba, in Zamora, Spain, he crosses Aveleda and flows into the River Sabor, near Rabal.

Village preserved and integrated in the Montesinho Natural Park in Bragança, it is an emblematic case, due to its border position, next to its namesake on the Spanish side - Rhionor de Castilla.

The origins of the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo date back to the Middle Ages. The charter of Vilariça was due to D. Sancho II, who granted it, on June 6, 1225, giving rise to the municipality of Santa Cruz da Vilariça, whose headquarters remained there until D. Dinis transferred it to Moncorvo, by charter, granted, in Lisbon, on April 12, 1285, and the village was endowed with walls and a castle. The agricultural wealth of the Vilariça valley enhances a period of economic prosperity during the 15th to 17th centuries. The expansion of hemp flax, vine, olive oil, silk, wool, almonds and cereals, the exploitation of iron, the commercial dynamism of its important fair, allied to its geographical position, which made Moncorvo an important communications node between Trás-os-Montes and Beira are the most important factors in its demographic growth. Following the new administrative division of the Kingdom, in the 16th century, Torre de Moncorvo, it became the headquarters of one of the four counties of Trás-os-Montes then constituted, covering an extensive territory and the headquarters of the Provedor. And from an ecclesiastical point of view, it was one of the five counties in which the vast archbishopric of Braga was divided. The production of hemp flax gives rise, at the end of the 16th century, to the royal warehouses of cordage. Derived from the great production of olive oil, a soap factory is installed. This economic prosperity explains the urban renewal of Moncorvo in the 16th century, marked by the construction of its majestic church. The negative role of the Inquisition between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries in the progressive commercial fabric of Trás-os-Montes and the War of Restoration 1640-1668, with invasions, sieges and looting of localities will bring down all Trás-os-Montes. The conflicts that occurred with Spain, between 1640-1763, contributed powerfully to an accentuated process of depopulation and even desertification of the Northeast Trasmontano, including Moncorvo. The region of Moncorvo, in Coroa, was not, either demographically or economically, the most populous or the most prosperous in Trás-os-Montes, since both the region of Bragança and the region of Vila Real referred plans. But, being the most extensive and with the greatest territorial continuity, it enjoyed a central place in the province, crossing it from north to south, from the border with Galicia to the Douro River, and held one of the most important ports of Trás-os-Montes, the road from Beira which, through Pocinho - where the highest yielding boat on the Douro River served - and Moncorvo, connected Bragança and Miranda.

Creating conditions of comfort to overcome the difficulties of the closed, noisy and completely buried working environment, constituted for architects, the biggest problem in the design of underground plants. Miranda's, in a cave, 80m long, 19.6m wide and 42.7m high, is particularly interesting due to the treatment of the ceiling, walls and the way the pillars articulate in their supporting function of the crane . The Comando building, of Discharge and Parque de Linhas, are located on the right bank, on an artificial platform, crowning a spur of rock that gives the tight curved shape of the river. Designed according to a volumetric scheme articulated in two bodies of controlled geometry, they are interconnected through a set of transparencies that allows the immediate location of the accesses and the visual projection to the exterior of the building. Access to the underground power station is through a 9m diameter and 63m deep well. It has been in operation since 1960. Its architecture is of high quality, everything was designed, including furniture, by the team of architect João Archer in 1959

Miranda do Douro is located in a region that skirts the border between the Portuguese Trás-os-Montes region, and the Spanish autonomous community of Castile and León. The relief in this region is influenced by hard quartzite deposits near the border region, making erosion difficult, resulting in high escarpments and cliffs. The soils are composed of schists and granite bedrocks.Referred to as the "Cidade Museu" of the Trás-os-Montes region, it is located 86 kilometres from Bragança, preserving many of its medieval and Renaissance-era traditions and architecture. It has a language of its own, Mirandese, which enjoys official status in Portugal, in addition to cultural and historical discontinuity with the rest of the Portuguese state

Originally, Bragança was a Celtic city known as Brigantia; it later became the Juliobriga of the Romans. Historically, the city is important as the seat of the house of Bragança, which provided the kings of Portugal from 1640 to 1910 and the emperors of Brazil from 1822 to 1889; their feudal castle (built 1187) still remains. Catherine of Bragança became the queen consort (1662) of Charles II of England. Bragança, an episcopal see, was the capital of the historical Trás-os-Montes province. Notable landmarks in the city include the 12th-century Domus Municipalis (Portugal’s oldest and largest town hall), the Renaissance cathedral, and the town walls, with 18 watchtowers. The possessions of the house of Bragança belong to the Portuguese state and support the Fundaçao da Casa de Bragança, a foundation with a library, a museum, and a lecture centre in the 16th-century residence of the Bragança family in Vila Viçosa.

Considered by many to be the "Most Manueline Village in Portugal", it was almost an enigma. In the countryside of Trás-os-Montes, agricultural, without great known patrons, almost without road connections to the most developed cities in the country where art reached forms of erudition worthy of note, it was possible to develop and maintain this new form until today. artistic expression, rich in decoration, expensive, which needed good masons and artists for its execution. All this quality and quantity have a logical explanation and are simple to understand if we think that it was essentially during the second half of the 15th century and the beginning of the 20th century. 16 that numerous Jewish families settled in this village, who, being overwhelmingly traders, had the necessary cash to buy or order works of art from the master masons.

O Parque Natural do Douro Internacional é um parque natural que abrange a área em que o rio Douro constitui a fronteira entre Portugal e Espanha, bem como o rio Águeda, afluente do Douro. Inclui áreas dos municípios de Mogadouro, Miranda do Douro, Freixo de Espada à Cinta e Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo. A característica mais destacada desta àrea verde é a grandiosidade paisagística de seus escarpados vales. Um espetacular palco natural artisticamente lavrado pelos cursos de água que percorrem suas fecundas terras. Morfologicamente está caracterizada por paisagens graníticas, com grandes desniveles, pelos que escorre encaixotado o Douro e seus afluentes.

Uma aldeia tipicamente alentejana, proxima da fronteira espanhola, com casas onde se vêem técnicas e soluções típicas de uma região onde o clima é severo principalmente de verão. São imagens recolhidas em 2001-2002 antes da subida da água do Rio Guadiana, com a construção da barragem do Alqueva, que submergiu esta aldeia

A Igreja dos Lóios pertenceu ao Convento dos Lóios ou Convento de São João Evangelista e foi erguida a mando do primeiro Conde de Olivença, D. Rodrigo Afonso de Melo, no ano de 1485 sobre o que restava de um castelo medieval. Estava destinada a ser o panteão da família Melo e de facto a sua intenção confirma-se através dos vários sepulcros que aí se encontram. Entre eles, na Capela do Santíssimo, o esplendoroso túmulo de Francisco de Melo, obra renascentista de Nicolau de Chanterene.

The Church of São Francisco in Évora is a church of Gothic-Manueline architecture. Built between 1480 and 1515 by stone masters Martim Lourenço and Pero de Trilho and decorated by royal painters Francisco Henriques, Jorge Afonso and Garcia Fernandes, it is closely linked to the historical events that marked the period of maritime expansion in Portugal. This is evident in the symbols of the monumental nave of the ogival vault: the cross of the Order of Christ and the emblems of the founding kings, D. João II and D. Manuel I. Building from the 15th and 16th centuries, in Manueline-Mudejar and Renaissance style, built to replace a previous Gothic temple, of which some remains still remain. The Royal Palace was annexed and was considered a Royal Church, in which important ceremonies took place, with the wedding of Prince D. Afonso with D. Isabel de Castela, in 1490.
