Ponte de Sequeiros, Medieval bridge near Vale Longo, Portugal

The granite stone bridge spans over the Rio Côa with three arches, featuring a central arch that measures wider and taller than the others.

Built in the 15th century, this bridge marked the boundary between the Kingdom of Portugal and León, serving as a control point for people and goods.

The square tower with its arched opening on one side of the bridge indicates its past role in toll collection and territorial defense mechanisms.

The bridge structure extends approximately 65 meters in length and maintains a width of 4.5 meters between the protective granite guardrails.

Natural granite outcrops were integrated into the bridge construction, with triangular buttresses upstream and rectangular ones downstream for flood protection.
