This church is actually a monastery, a Dominican monastery. It is dedicated to Blessed Gonçalo, who is also the patron saint of this town. The monastery was built in the 16th century, and parts of it now serve as the town hall and a museum. It's very sustainable.

Free parking is available on the outskirts of town. You have to drive through a one-way street and traffic lights to get to the parking lot. You can then start your hike right by the river or walk into town.

Known as the lungs of Vizela, the Parque das Termas is an open invitation to practice outdoor sports. Its main attraction? An impressive concentration of monumental trees, unique in the country, which transform this space into a green haven like no other in Portugal.

The Ponte de São Gonçalo bridge, made of granite, is a symbol of the strength of the city's defense against the French. Proof of this is the commemorative plaque in the southern part of the bridge, which commemorates this act.
