PONTE DO BURGO. A symbol of the city and a deep-rooted myth is that of its foundation by Teucer, a Greek archer, who traveled to the West after the Trojan War to build the town. Thus, the road and the bridge are the origin of the foundation of the city. In the S. XII, under the reign of Fernando II, the city appears for the first time under its current name. Formed by eleven lowered semicircular arches, it is made of medieval ashlar masonry. Much modified by later enlargements.

It is extremely pleasant to walk along the river. It has a significant flow and there are several bridges that cross it.

The Puente del Burgo is a medieval bridge that crosses the Lérez River in the Spanish city of Pontevedra. It replaced a previous bridge of Roman origin. It is located on the route of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago, north of the historic center of Pontevedra and south of the O Burgo neighborhood. Between its arches, above the pillars, the famous pilgrim shells are sculpted. For centuries, it was one of the most important bridges in Galicia from a strategic point of view. 😊
