Tui is a town in Galicia, in the province of Pontevedra. Tui is located on the left bank of the Miño River, facing the Portuguese town of Valença. Tui original local name, Tude, was mentioned by Pliny the Elder and by Ptolemy in the first century AD.
Tui became an episcopal see no later than the 6th century, during the Suevic rule, when Bishop Anila went to the II Council of Braga. Later, in the Visigothic period, Tui briefly served as the capital of a Galician subkingdom under king Wittiza. After the campaigns of Alfonso I of Asturias (739–757) against the Moors, the town lay abandoned in the largely empty buffer zone between Moors and Christians, being later part of the Repoblación (repopulation) effort carried out a century later, during the reign of Ordoño I of Asturias (850–866). In the 10th century, Tui was raided by Vikings, being abandoned and later re-established in its current location.
Today the town centre of Tui is near the Inn of San Telmo. On the top of the hill, the cathedral (11th–13th century) preserves Romanesque elements in its main vestibule, and the Gothic period in the western vestibule. The town of Tui has two museums, one dedicated to archaeology and sacred art, and the other is the diocesan museum.
Two bridges connect Tui and Valença: Tui International Bridge (known in Portugal as Valença International Bridge), completed in 1878 under the direction of Pelayo Mancebo, and a modern one from the 1990s. Both countries being signatories of the Schengen Treaty, there are normally no formalities in crossing what is the busiest border-point in Northern Portugal.
The municipality of Tui is composed of 11 parishes: Randufe, Malvas, Pexegueiro, Areas, Pazos de Reis, Rebordáns, Ribadelouro, Guillarei, Paramos, Baldráns and Caldelas.
