The Igreja de São Gonçalo is a landmark, attracting visitors with its white façade and colorful tile frescoes. Stroll along the riverside walkway for views of the rolling hills and sparkling river, and experience the charm of the slow Portuguese lifestyle. Amaranti is not only a destination for history buffs, but also an ideal starting point for experiencing the Douro Valley.
