Wikipedia: It is a really cool old bridge. Take care if you choose to ride over the bridge, its pretty worn and chunky, a bit of a challenge.

The bridge is believed to have been part of a Roman road from Faro to Beja and Évora in Portugal, ending in Mérida in Spain. It is believed that the original three granite piers date back to between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE. Subsequently, it was reconstructed and extended on several occasions between the 5th and 11th centuries, during the Visigoth and Al-Andalus periods in Portugal, using material from the original bridge as well as new building materials, such as limestone, granite, schist, brick and even an old Roman gravestone. Further work was carried out in the 16th and 17th centuries, and more recently. As a consequence of the many interventions, the bridge lacks any architectural coherence. Its present appearance gives an incomplete understanding of its extent because silting has caused 15 arches to now be underground
