The Portas de Ródão is a geological formation located near Vila Velha de Ródão, resulting from the intersection of the hard quartzitic relief of the Serra das Talhadas with the course of the Tagus river. In this place there is a narrowing of the valley, which runs between two steep walls, which reach about 170 m high, reminiscent of two "gates", one to the north in the district of Castelo Branco, Beira Baixa, and another to the south in the county Of Nisa, district of Portalegre, Alto Alentejo.

The Tajo dock began with erosion remontante, about 2.6 million years ago, taking advantage of tectonic accidents associated to the failure of the Pônsul, and it took place in several stages, reflected in fluvial terraces and platforms built by erosion, more visible in the right margin to Amount of the Ports.
