Ponte medieval que atravessa o rio de Mouro, Roman bridge in Barbeita, Portugal.

The granite bridge spans across Rio Mouro with a single arch design, demonstrating Roman engineering principles with medieval modifications.

The structure gained prominence in 1386 when King John I of Portugal and the Duke of Lancaster met there to arrange a royal marriage.

The bridge represents a combination of Roman and medieval Portuguese architectural elements, recognized as an Immovable Cultural Heritage of Public Interest.

The structure underwent restoration in 1979 by the Municipality of Monção to strengthen its foundation and maintain clear access paths.

The bridge features a curved platform with double non-horizontal ramp trestle, differentiating it from typical straight Roman constructions.
