Stroll through the historic center, walk through the old streets, see the typical houses and the history that the city counts, with the river and the bridge.For those who like to appreciate the ancient architecture, in Amarante, mainly in the historical center, there are numerous examples of the Romanesque and still many buildings of the Middle Ages, along S.
