Throughout the municipality of Paredes de Coura we find vestiges of the passage of the Romans through these lands. Some of these signs, such as the Roman-Medieval Bridge of Rubiães and several milestones, result from the XIX Via del Antonino Itinerary (or IV Roman Military Route). It was through here that the military and merchants passed through on their way from Bracara Augusta (Braga) to Asturica Augusta (Astorga). Later, the medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela began to pass through here, becoming a crossing point. mandatory for pilgrims.

Local espetacular e sem muita gente, sem praticamente nenhuma intervenção recente

Ponte Romana interessante a precisar de alguma manutenção, limpeza da vagetação

Imperdível! Lugar rico em natureza! E a minha sorte foi que estava chovendo o que trouxe um "ar" ainda mais medieval para o local.

Doune Castle

Doune Castle was originally built in the thirteenth century, then probably damaged in the Scottish Wars of Independence, before being rebuilt in its present form in the late 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany (c. 1340–1420), the son of King Robert II of Scots, and Regent of Scotland from 1388 until his death. Duke Robert"s stronghold has survived relatively unchanged and complete, and the whole castle was traditionally thought of as the result of a single period of construction at this time. The castle passed to the crown in 1425, when Albany"s son was executed, and was used as a royal hunting lodge and dower house.

In the later 16th century, Doune became the property of the Earls of Moray. The castle saw military action during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Glencairn"s rising in the mid-17th century, and during the Jacobite risings of the late 17th century and 18th century.
