Arco Swing / Bridge Swing of Arco (Felgueiras)
The Arco Swing / swing of the Bridge of the Arco is located in Ponte do Arco, Vila Fria, Vila Fria and Vizela (São Jorge), Felgueiras. It belongs to the Felgueiras council, Porto district, Northern Region.
The Bridge of the Arch, over the Vizela River, connects the localities of Vila Fria (Felgueiras) and Serzedo (Guimarães) through a deck in trestle resting on two perfect round arches, with unequal dimensions.
It is a medieval construction with the use of materials from the previous Roman bridge, whose way connected Guimarães to Amarante.
It still conserves on its guards a delimitation milestone of the monastery's couto of Pombeiro with the date of 1724.
From the swing of the bridge one can enjoy a view of the river.
