In 1944 it was the site of a train disaster in which it is believed between 200 and 800 people died when three trains collided in a tunnel.

The main historical landmark of the village is a Roman bridge over Tremor river built in the first century. It was part of the Via Nova or Via XVII, one of the main routes connecting the actual cities of Braga (Portugal) and Astorga (Spain)
