Much bigger than Galveias in size, it has more to offer such as a cinema, swimming pools, gardens with bandstand, a train station, a variety of sports facilities including a skate park, schools, arts & culture centres, many
restaurants and a delightful riverside. Highly recognised around the world for its cork industry, it has also evolved its car, aviation, building and agriculture industries too, all having helped with its development and growth. You can also visit Roman monuments found near the local water fountain, Fonte da Vila as well as its two churches and chapel - the 18th century Igreja de S. Joao, Igreja Matriz built in 1903 and the 17th century Capela de S. Pedro. Ponte de Sor's latest addition is the Ponte Pedonal (bridge). Constructed with innovative engineering, it stands 32 metres in length without any supports or pillars and is illuminated in colour at night. |
