Tui, Border municipality in Pontevedra Province, Spain.

The historic town of Tui stands on a hill above the Miño River, featuring narrow stone streets leading to its imposing 12th-century cathedral.

Romans established a settlement called Tude in the first century, marking it with a milestone that commemorated Emperor Claudius along their road to Braga.

The Cathedral of Santa María combines Romanesque architecture with Gothic elements, including one of Spain's largest chapter houses and French-crafted stone facades.

Two bridges connect Tui to Valença in Portugal: the 1878 iron bridge and a modern structure from the 1990s, allowing free movement under Schengen rules.

The town marks the starting point of the 116-kilometer Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela, where pilgrims can earn their completion certificate.
