The Old Bridge of Manresa (Pont Vell) is one of the city's most emblematic monuments and forms part of its most distinctive skyline, along with the Basilica of La Seu and the Cave of Saint Ignatius.
Of Roman origin, the current structure is a faithful reconstruction of a 12th-century medieval bridge.
It was destroyed in 1939 during the Civil War and rebuilt between 1960 and 1962 by architect J. Pons Sorolla.

The Old Bridge of Manresa over the Cardener River is of Roman origin, although it has undergone several renovations over the centuries. The bridge was destroyed during the Civil War and then rebuilt in the 1960s, recovering its medieval appearance.

A very old bridge. I don't know about architecture, but it is a very common style of bridge, there are many of them all over the geography of central Catalonia. I'm surprised that many of them, being so old, are still standing so many centuries later... 😯
