- Pinhao Railway Station - Established in 1880, the Pinhao Railway Station was the first to connect the village of Pinhão to Porto. Before its existence, villagers relied on boat travel, which took five times longer than the train journey to reach the metropolitan city. In 1937, the station was adorned with 24 beautiful tile panels depicting various aspects of village life. Still operational today, it remains an iconic landmark in Pinhão.
