Roman Bridge of Talamanca de Jarama

The bridge extends 148 meters in length and features five uneven arches, with the main arch spanning 17.9 meters across its limestone structure.

Originally dated to the 9th century during Muslim rule, the bridge served as a military connection between fortifications along the Jarama and Tiétar rivers.

The bridge stones contain 265 mason marks, indicating the various construction phases and medieval craftsmanship techniques from different time periods.

Located 500 meters from the historic center of Talamanca de Jarama, the bridge sits within a recreational area surrounded by poplar trees.

Despite no longer crossing the Jarama River due to natural course changes, the bridge remains a testament to medieval engineering and military architecture.
