Old Bridge, Stone bridge in Monforte de Lemos, Spain.

The Old Bridge is a granite stone bridge over the Cabe River in the centre of Monforte de Lemos, built with six semicircular arches, two of them covered in later renovations, and piers resting on buttresses. Mason's marks are visible on the central arches, and the roadway is paved with cobblestones.

The bridge was built in the 16th century under the direction of Catalina de la Cerda y Sandoval, the seventh Countess of Lemos, who commissioned the work. Pedro Rodríguez de Ramberde oversaw its construction, blending medieval building traditions with contemporary methods of that era.

The bridge connects two parts of Monforte de Lemos and remains woven into daily life as people cross it regularly to move between neighborhoods. Its granite structure reflects the practical building methods that shaped the town centuries ago.

The bridge carries one-way vehicle traffic and should be crossed on foot with attention to approaching cars. Pedestrians can walk safely across it, though you should stay aware of the roadway when moving from one side to the other.

Two of the six semicircular arches are hidden, walled up during later renovations, so from the roadway you count fewer openings than the bridge really has. On the central arches, several mason's marks cut by the stonemasons of Pedro Rodríguez de Ramberde can still be read in the granite.
