Although the first fortification defending Viana Bar is believed to date back to the time of King Alfonso III, the Roqueta Tower is the oldest visible structure. It was built in the 15th century and completed during the reign of King Manuel I, which is why it bears the monarch's coat of arms on its façade.
This military fortress, with a polygonal plan and trapezoidal walls, reinforced by triangular bastions, circular sentry boxes, and a moat, was commissioned during the reign of Philip I. The main entrance to the fortress leads across the wide bridge over the moat to a round-arched doorway flanked by pilasters crowned with the coat of arms of King João de Sousa (Governor of Praia de Viana in 1700) and topped with the Portuguese coat of arms on the cornice.
Inside, the main building has a rectangular floor plan, three portals, one in the center, and the usual architectural decorations, including the royal coat of arms. On the north side is the Chapel of Santiago da Barra, formerly the Chapel of Santa Catarina, with a rectangular choir, a pedimented frontispiece, and a bell tower on the right. Next to it is the former powder magazine, a square building with a round portal and triangular pediment.

The Sanctuary of "Senhora da Agonia". In August there is a big festival in her honor, during which carpets made of colorful salt are laid on the streets in the fishing districts (similar to the flower carpets at Corpus Christi in Germany).

Santa Luzia Stations of the Cross

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful path between the pilgrimage church and the city. The path crosses the winding road several times so children should be informed.
