Ponte de Lima is an attractive riverside town which was fortified in the Middle Ages and played an important role in the defence of northeast Portugal. It has many attractions in addition to those detailed elsewhere. The town hall, in the Praça da República, was the 15th century fortified Palacio dos Marqueses, whilst the public library was a former Misericórdia hospital. The Casa de Nossa Senhora da Aurora, also called the Casa do Arrabalde, is an urban baroque palace with a chapel. Other churches include the 18th century Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lapa and the 17th/18th century Misericórdia Church.
