Although its origin is quite possibly Roman, the bridge shows many medieval characteristics. The bridge has undergone serious modifications throughout history, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Many legends surround the old bridge. In one, the bridge was the meeting place for a gang of thieves who gathered here to "split" the booties. Another is the story of a group of knights who departed from here to other places to fight against the Moors. Another tells us that seven brothers gathered here (Asunción, Lucía, María de la O, Marta, Amaro, Blas and Cibrán) who decided to preach the word of Christ. Their work of preaching and doing good was so great that when they died, seven mountains grew over their bodies. They are honored by seven chapels in area towns (Pesqueiras, Ganade, Picoña, Ribarteme, Lira, Areas, Guláns).
