Pont de la Margineda, Medieval stone bridge in Andorra la Vella, Andorra.
Pont de la Margineda is a medieval stone bridge crossing the Valira River with a single arch design. The structure displays typical vernacular construction techniques of the period, built entirely from local stone with a robust engineering approach.
The bridge was built during the 15th century as part of a royal road system. This connection between Sant Julia de Loria and Andorra la Vella served as a crucial link for regional trade and travel.
A modern sculpture by Vicenç Alfaro stands beside the bridge, marking the First Congress of Catalan Language and Literature. The location reflects how the region honors its linguistic and cultural roots through public monuments.
The bridge sits near the Margineda roundabout and is accessible from the city center on foot. The approach is straightforward with no challenging terrain or obstacles along the way.
The single arch is a remarkable engineering feat for its time and demonstrates the skill of medieval builders. Despite its age, the structure has endured with minimal changes and still carries traffic across the river today.
