The original bridge dates back to 10 BC, and was part of the Roman Via Augusta. It was rebuilt in the 13th century, with its characteristic Gothic arch. It underwent new reforms in the 18th century and was destroyed in 1939 during the Spanish civil war, being rebuilt in its current form in 1963.

Its name comes from the legend that tells that the devil offered an old woman to build the bridge in exchange for the soul of the first person to cross it. The old woman, who had asked the devil to build the bridge so that she could cross the river safely, hid a black cat in her bag, which she released before crossing the bridge so that the devil could claim her soul.

A beautiful bridge, with a great history, of those constructions to last a lifetime, it is worth visiting. When you cross it look up at its ceiling.
