Albarregas Roman bridge

The Albarregas Roman Bridge spans 145 meters across the Albarregas River with four granite arches and stone construction displaying Roman engineering methods.

Built in the first century BC during Emperor Augustus reign, the bridge connected the ancient city of Emerita Augusta to the Vía de la Plata trade route.

The bridge became part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, representing Roman architectural influence in Spain.

Located on Vía de la Plata Avenue, the bridge remains open throughout the year without entrance fees and welcomes pedestrian traffic.

The structure runs parallel to the Acueducto de los Milagros, creating a visual connection between two major Roman engineering accomplishments.
