Medieval element
Portuguese road Milladoiro-Santiago
Structure
This was the final stage of the Portuguese Way to Santiago. This stage was a little over six kilometers and was the last stop of the trip. Milladoiro was the last town before reaching Santiago, therefore, the pilgrims rested here before facing the final stage. In the Middle Ages Milladoiro was where the pilgrims knelt down, humbled themselves, thanking God that they saw the goal of their journey near. From here, Archbishop Gelmirez went barefoot to Compostela and Santa Isabel de Portugal got off her horse and continued on foot. https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-senderismo/camino-de-santiago-portugues-etapa-6b-o-milladoiro-santiago-de-compostela-11110722 http://amigosdelcaminoportuguesenameseteo15.blogspot.com.es/

Medieval element
Irmandiño's attack
Event
The revolt of the irmandiños, was a popular rebellion that took place in Galicia in the 15th century. The anger of the irmandiños led them to demolish as many castles and towers as there were in Galicia. According to what is known, around 130 castles and fortresses were destroyed. The intention of the irmandiños was to break the relationship of vassalage, not pay the income of the lord and take advantage of the vacuum of power generated by the civil war in Castile to raise a new power. Among the castles that attacked the irmandiños are the castle of Altamira, which is located in Brión. The castle was owned by the Moscoso family, whose lineage comes from the 7th century. After several attacks by the Irmandiños, in 1471, the castle was rebuilt with the aim of resisting future attacks, but the castle ended up falling under the forces of the Irmandiños

Medieval element
Ponte de Augapesada
Structure
Situada na parroquia de Ames está a ponte de Augapesada, unha ponte de orixe medieval. Está no trazado do antigo Camiño Real de Santiago a Fisterra. Permite atravesar o regueiro de Augapesada, que desemboca no Sar. Ten un arco central de medio punto e unha calzada de grandes lousas de pedra. Aponte quebra na vertical do centro do río, formando dúas pendentes,que descenden cara as orillas do regueiro. Actualmente o camiño non cruza a ponte, si non que pasa polo seu lado porque co paso do tempo foronse construíndo casase rúas, o que fixo que a ponte quedara sin saída por un dos extremos. Esta información foi sacada de Internet desta páxina en concreto: concretohttp://patrimoniogalego.net/index.php/3521/2011/08/ponte-de-aguapesada/, e tamén do que vimos nos ao visitar a ponte.
