The House of Faldejães, built by Gaspar da Gama, at the end of the first quarter of the eighteenth century, patents a structure and details that connect the palaces that the engineer-architect Manuel Pinto de Vilalobos left in Viana do Castelo. The noble facade of the building, a baroque linear and robust, in the second floor alardeia a row of five typical balconies, whose padieiras, rectilínias frames, support plates with a trapezoidal shape (as with the windows and doors of the ground floor).On the far left of the sun rises the chapel, with its niche between volutes, valued by an inscription which reads the date of 1721. Inside the chapel, a retable of carvings of the purposes of Seven hundred.
Ponte de Lima is a great base for exploring the lush Minho countryside around in which walking, canoeing and horse-riding are popular past-times. It is home to Portugal's oldest market that has been going on since 1125 since its first charter was granted. This is now held on alternate Mondays alongside the riverbank and is vast, offering everything and anything from farm tools to locally made cheese, wine, fresh fruit and veg. The town has a few historic sites including most obviously its Roman bridge that is the main tourist pull.
