Tips
The Roman Bridge of Silves (Portuguese: Ponte Romana) is a historic pedestrian bridge over the Arade River in Silves, Algarve, Portugal. Although its name suggests it dates back to Roman times, the current structure likely dates from the 14th or 15th century. The bridge is 76 meters long and 5 meters wide, with five elegant arches and triangular buttresses.

It is a reconstruction from the second half of the fifteenth century. By the way, there is also a very good restaurant near the bridge with that name.
