Puente Mayor de Toro, Medieval stone bridge in Toro, Spain.

The Puente Mayor de Toro extends across the Douro River with 22 spans supported by robust prismatic pillars and pointed arches.

Construction of this medieval bridge began in 1194 and was completed in 1222, serving as a crucial crossing point over the Douro River.

The bridge represents medieval engineering techniques through its combination of ashlar stone construction and masonry joined with traditional mortar methods.

Visitors can access the bridge throughout the year and obtain detailed information from the tourism office located in the Toro town center.

The bridge features triangular-shaped cutwaters on its pillars, designed to efficiently direct water flow and protect the structure from river currents.
