Ponte de Aljezur

The bridge spans the Ribeira de Aljezur with three arches supported by rectangular pillars, measuring 39 meters in length and 6 meters in width.

A major flood in 1947 destroyed the original medieval structure, leading to the reconstruction of the bridge in the second half of the 20th century.

The bridge stands as a notable element of local architectural heritage, despite not having official protection status as a cultural property.

The structure serves as the main access point to Aljezur's historic center and local market along the national road EN120.

The bridge sits at the meeting point of Ribeira de Alfambras and Ribeira da Cerca, surrounded by a floodplain rich in botanical species.
