Puente de Alcántara, Toledo, Roman bridge at Toledo, Spain
The stone bridge spans across the Tagus River with two main arches and features a western tower and an eastern Baroque triumphal arch entrance.
Built in the third century during Roman times, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions, including significant repairs under King Alfonso X in the thirteenth century.
The bridge name originates from the Arabic word al-qantarah, reflecting the multicultural influence of Romans, Arabs, and Christians throughout its existence.
The structure connects the eastern part of Toledo with a free parking area outside the city walls, offering an entry point to the medieval center.
The western tower displays the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs without the pomegranate symbol, indicating its completion before Granada's incorporation into their realm.
