Ponte romana sobre a Ribeira de Odivelas
Ponte romana sobre a Ribeira de Odivelas, Roman bridge in Vila Ruiva, Portugal.
The Roman bridge over Odivelas stream extends 120 meters in length with twenty arches and reaches a maximum height of 5.3 meters.
Built in the first century BC, the bridge formed part of an essential Roman road network connecting Faro and Beja to Évora and Mérida.
The structure received National Monument status in 1967, representing the engineering capabilities of ancient Roman builders in the Alentejo region.
Located 1.5 kilometers from Vila Ruiva, the bridge allows single-direction traffic and maintains a low parapet for pedestrian access.
Fifteen of the bridge's arches and drainage holes remain partially buried due to sediment accumulation over the centuries.
