Roman bridge
The old stone bridge crosses the Tâmega near the historic centre. On the poster it is a short, firm line across the river, linking the old town to the south bank.

About this Chaves map poster
Chaves sits in a wide valley in northern Portugal, a short distance from the Spanish border, with the river Tâmega running through it. From above the old town forms a dense knot of streets on the north bank, while newer districts spread across the flat valley floor. The river curves through the middle, and the line of the bridges pulls the two halves together.
The town's history goes back to Roman times, when it was known as Aquae Flaviae, and its thermal springs are still in use. The Roman bridge over the Tâmega, often called the Trajan Bridge, remains one of its best-known features. Above the old streets stands the keep of the medieval castle.
A Chaves map poster shows how these layers fit together: the curving river, the tight historic core, and the angular outlines of later fortifications that once guarded this frontier. Beyond them, the valley's roads and fields spread toward the surrounding hills. It is a town where centuries of building are still easy to read on a map.

Historic core
Narrow streets cluster around the castle keep on the north bank. This is the densest part of the map, and it clearly predates the grid of newer districts.
Tâmega valley
The river winds through a broad, flat valley ringed by hills. Its curve gives the whole composition a natural centre line.

Why Chaves
A map that means something
Chaves draws people for its springs, its Roman past and its position on the border, and many families from the region have scattered across Europe. A map of the town is a clear reminder of the river, the bridge and the streets around the castle.
