Bridge of Cruzul, Neoclassical bridge in Becerreá, Spain

The Bridge of Cruzul spans 93 meters across the Narón River with three semicircular arches built from limestone blocks reaching 29 meters in height.

Engineer Carlos Lemaur constructed this bridge between 1776 and 1778 as part of King Carlos III's initiative to connect Madrid with La Coruña.

Local residents gathered at the bridge during carnival celebrations dressed as guerrilla fighters, carrying weapons recovered from the Napoleonic period.

The structure stands at kilometer 465 of the former N-VI road and now serves local traffic after the construction of a new viaduct in 1987.

Over one thousand French rifles were discovered near the bridge during the Independence War, with some specimens still preserved in the Os Ancares region.
