Arch of Augustus is a landmark monument built in 27 BC in honour of Ceasar Augustus. This arch served to mark the end of the via Flaminia, linking the cities of Romagna to Rome, and marked the beginning of the via Emilia, a road leading northwest to Piacenza. The Arch of Augustus is the oldest surviving Roman arch and has a single gate that is nearly 10 metres high.

The dunes of Porto Santo might not be huge, but they’re a fascinating sight. Fine sand, traces of coral, and layered sediment form natural patterns and small ridges, while the backdrop shifts between low mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. This unique ecosystem is one of the few sandy dune systems in the Madeira Archipelago, and it’s just a short walk from the beach.
