The original fortress was built almost a thousand years ago, back in the 10th or perhaps the 11th. The original wall that surrounds the castle dates from the 12th century and its main purpose was to defend the town from the constant attacks of the then Lusitanians (An Indo-European people living in the west of the Iberian Peninsula prior to its conquest by the Roman Republic and the subsequent incorporation of the territory into the Roman province of Lusitania.). In the 17th century, in the conflict of the Portuguese war of independence, it was completely renovated giving it its current appearance, although many defensive structures have disappeared over time. The plan of the fortress is rectangular and has no more and no less than 9,700 m2. Very few years ago, the only way to cross the river and go to the neighboring country was by using the ferry that joined the two banks aided by a large metallic cable that made sure that the barge was not dragged by the waters of the river. The docks and the old border customs are still preserved. A Good Reference: https://www.galiciamaxica.eu/galicia/pontevedra/comarca-do-condado/salvaterra-do-mino/fortaleza-de-salvaterra/

The Romans left their mark on the area as this was an important road that linked the region with Tui. A magnificent bridge whose first stones were placed on the riverbed by the great Roman architects. The bridge underwent great modifications, in the 15th and especially the 17h century due to the conflicts and wars with Portugal. The bridge was modified to monitor the passage to the lands of Tudenses (Tui). This is evident by the various fortifications on both sides of the bridge, which today are mostly demolished and covered by vegetation. But the most remarkable thing about this area was the location of a fortress that was part of a military network made up of fortified buildings along the Miño River. The rearmaments of its foundations are hidden under hundreds of square meters of nearby vineyards.

Hike as, moderate, indicated, but steep ascent (shady) on forest roads and descent on paths with many large round stones, which were partially overrun with water (spring). Not easy to go.
