A beautiful arched bridge over the Canal de São Roque. It provides direct access to the city from the parking lot. It was built in 1953 to replace the original wooden bridge. The bridge is decorated with the coat of arms of the city of Aveiro, whose symbol is the eagle.

The current Ponte dos Carcavelos, also known as Ponte dos Namorados, is one of the many bridges of beautiful architecture that you can enjoy on a boat trip on the Ria de Aveiro.
The old Carcavelos Bridge over the Canal de S. Roque in Aveiro was simple, rudimentary and not very solid.
Constructed of wood, it eventually collapsed on September 9, 1942.http:\\aveirolovers.pt/Ponte-dos-Carcavelostranslated by•July 26, 2022
