Amares, Municipality in Braga District, Portugal
Amares extends over 82 square kilometers between the Homem and Cávado rivers, maintaining a population density of 230 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The settlement received its administrative division status in 1514, developing from an Iron Age settlement that later served as a Roman route between Astorga and Braga.
The region features two notable monasteries: Rendufe Monastery from the 11th century and Santa Maria do Bouro Monastery established by Cistercian monks in the 12th century.
The municipality connects to Porto International Airport through the A3 motorway, with a driving duration of approximately 50 minutes.
The Ponte do Porto bridge, constructed in the 14th century, spans the Cávado river with eleven arches and holds national monument status since 1910.
