Among the remains of the old bridge over the Alberche is the original masonry of the Roman pillars. This bridge was a fundamental part of the road between Toletum and Emérita Augusta.
Later it was used for centuries by shepherds in transhumance, in fact it is connected to the cordel de merinas, a traditional livestock route.
The bridge was repaired several times after being damaged by floods but during the independence and civil wars it became a key bastion and did not survive the conflicts.
