    Alcántara means “the bridge” and not in vain, next to this town near the Portuguese border, is its famous Roman bridge over the Tagus River. It was declared a National Monument in 1924 and has a height of more than 70 meters. It dates back to the 2nd century AD. and its size and excellent state of conservation make it a must-visit place.
