The Town<\/h2>\n
As Pontes was born along the banks of the River Eume, where the oldest part of the town is still found in our times. Around Saint Mary de As Pontes church, a small town centre was consolidated which has given rise to what is known as the modern-day town of As Pontes. That particular area boasts the three most significant bridges: the Roman Bridge, Ponte dos Ferros iron bridge and the Isabel II Bridge. The last two are connected to one another by means of a boardwalk allowing locals and visitors the chance to enjoy the splendid view of the River Eume as it majestically flows through the town.<\/p>\n<\/div>
