Ponte da Barca owes its name to the "barca (boat)" that linked the two banks of the Lima River, often used by the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, being the "bridge" built in the mid-fourteenth century that will give it the name of St. John of Ponte da Barca (1450).
From this land comes the navigator Fernão de Magalhães, from the noble family of Paço Vedro (parish of Magalhães).
