Designed by Italian architect Nicolau
Nasoni, the Clérigos Tower, more than 75 meters long, was completed in 1763. Initially its function was to be a bell tower, but over the years it also ended up being used as a landmark for vessels, as well as a strategic point for military combat. The visit to Torre dos Clérigos includes a 225-step journey to the top where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city of Porto and Gaia.

Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar
The Serra do Pilar Monastery is an austere
17th century church. It has been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since
1996. The Church, classified as a National Monument, stands out for its circular plan, covered by an imposing hemispherical vault, surrounded by a balcony and crowned by a lantern. Inside, the gilded and white carved work stands out.
It preserves a beautiful cloister, also classified as a National Monument, with a circular vault with a central rib supported by 36 Ionic columns. This Mannerist monastery is a unique example in Portugal, as the church and cloister are circular in plan, a model originating from civil architecture. Its geographical location was crucial in 1809, during the invasions by Napoleonic troops and in 1832-33 as a military base during the liberal struggles.
Elevated to the category of fortress, it has since been converted into military barracks

It is considered, along with the Garabit Viaduct, as the greatest masterpieces created by engineer Gustave Eiffel. At the time of its inauguration, it was the bridge with the largest iron arch in the world. [It has been classified as a National Monument since 1982.
