Cangas de Onís Roman Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Cangas de Onís, Spain
The bridge spans the Sella River with three distinct arches, featuring a central elevated arch flanked by two smaller asymmetrical ones.
Built during the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile in the 13th century, this bridge replaced an earlier Roman structure on the route from Lucus Asturum to Portus Victoriae.
The central arch displays the Victory Cross, a symbol of Asturias, installed in 1939 when the Virgin of Covadonga returned from Paris after the Civil War.
Visitors can walk across the stone pathway while observing local fishermen catching salmon in the Sella River throughout different seasons.
The bridge appears on the municipal coat of arms of Cangas de Onís, alongside an oak cross over an inverted crescent moon commemorating the victory at Covadonga.
