Roman bridge of Salamanca, Roman bridge in Salamanca, Spain
The stone bridge stretches 176 meters across the Tormes River with twenty-six arches, fifteen of which date from the Roman period.
The bridge was constructed between the reigns of Emperor Augustus and Vespasian in the first century, making it a 2000-year-old architectural structure.
The bridge holds such importance to Salamanca that it appears in the first quarter of the city coat of arms alongside a stone bull figure.
Since 1973, the bridge has been reserved exclusively for pedestrians, allowing visitors to cross the Tormes River while viewing the ancient Roman architecture.
The structure consists of two distinct bridges separated by a central fortification, with stones from different quarries used in the Roman and Hispanic sections.
