Ponte Velha de Silves, Medieval stone bridge in Silves, Portugal.

Although called Roman Bridge, this crossing structure dates from the medieval period, potentially the 14th century, built upon foundations of an earlier passage.
The bridge stands as a testament to Portuguese construction methods, earning Monument of Public Interest status in April 2020.
