Pont Vell, Ancient stone bridge in Lleida, Spain
The Pont Vell extends 149 meters across the Segre River with 19.30 meters in width, featuring three metal arches supported by solid pillars.
Built initially in 47 BCE during Roman times, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions after flood damages in 1866, 1907, and destruction during the Spanish Civil War.
The bridge connects the historical center of Lleida with the newer districts, representing centuries of architectural evolution from Roman stone construction to modern engineering.
The structure received modifications in 2007 to expand pedestrian access and install iron railings, enhancing safety measures for daily crossings.
Engineers Amalio Hidalgo Fernández, Jacinto Julio González, and Victoriano Muñoz Homs designed the current cantilever structure that withstood major floods in 1966 and 1982.
