The bridge of Mañufe

Monument · Gondomar, Vigo, Pontevedra

The oldest bridge in the Val Miñor crosses the river Miñor at the spot called da Ponte, in the parish of Mañufe, one kilometre from the town of Gondomar. Probably Romanesque in origin, it bears an inscription with the year 1140 on one of its ashlars, although it is debated whether it occupies the site of an earlier Roman bridge. Nearby stands San Vicente de Mañufe, a 12th-century church remodelled in Baroque style, in a concello scattered with dolmens and petroglyphs, such as those of the Sierra del Galiñeiro. In the area around the spot da Ponte, an old skittles course and a group of traditional houses of ethnographic value have also been found, among them the Casa Soleiro, the Casa da Moucha and the Casa do Xulián.
