Roman bridge of Ávila, Roman bridge above Adaja River in Ávila, Spain.
The stone structure extends across the Adaja River with five arches and four pillars, incorporating different heights to maintain uniform measurements throughout the spans.
The bridge underwent systematic modifications during the Romanesque period, with its central arch reconstructed using granite from La Colilla during medieval times.
The structure represents a combination of Roman engineering and medieval construction methods, evident in the use of gray-blue granite and sandstone materials.
The bridge remains accessible to pedestrians, offering direct access between the western gate of the city and the riverside area.
A Roman cinerary urn was discovered in one of the central arch supports, indicating the presence of ancient funeral monuments near the city gate.
