Taboada Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Silleda, Spain.

The Romanesque bridge spans 11 meters across the Deza River with a single half-point arch built upon two substantial natural boulders.

The bridge construction began in 912, with an inscription indicating additional work completed on March 31, 950, serving as a vital link between Santiago and Ourense.

The structure forms part of the Via de la Plata pilgrimage route, connecting with the nearby 12th-century Church of Santiago de Taboada.

The bridge remains accessible only by foot, featuring a 2.85-meter-wide double ramp constructed from stone slabs and pavers.

The bridge incorporates natural rock formations into its foundation, with builders leaving inscriptions documenting the construction date directly on the stone.
