The bridge exchanges narrow streets for the breadth of the Miño. Roman origins and later rebuilding combine here: today's silhouette does not belong to one period. Study the main arch and the relationship between banks from a safe position. Arrange this as an extension beyond the old town, allowing time to return; riverside paths depend on river conditions and local access signs.

A bridge belonging to more than one date
The heritage authority highlights the large central arch and a long history of repairs. We suggest comparing the overall profile with a masonry detail visible from the permitted route. Do not try to attribute every stone to Rome: the traditional name and present appearance describe different aspects of a monument transformed over centuries.
Cross or look from the bank
To understand the silhouette, spend part of the stop viewing it from the side at a suitable point; crossing offers another experience, focused on the relationship between banks. Decide which interests you before extending the walk. The Miño and thermal areas form a separate extension from the old town: reaching the bridge does not require completing the whole thermal route as well.
