Vias Augustas XVII — Troço de Valpaços
PP4 VLP
Valpaços
A linear trail of variable distance along the Valpaços section of the Vias Augustas — the oldest road network of the Iberian northwest. The main axis of this Roman road connected Bracara Augusta (Braga) to Asturica Augusta (Astorga) via Aquae Flaviae (Chaves), spanning 247 miles. The route crosses the present-day municipalities of Braga, Chaves, Valpaços, Mirandela, Macedo de Cavaleiros, Vinhais and Bragança, entering Spain through Zamora to Astorga. This road was assigned number XVII in the Antonine Itinerary (3rd century AD). Milestones from Emperor Augustus and traveller support stations (mansiones, mutationes, stationes) bear witness to this ancient route. Source: CM Valpaços / CM Bragança.
