The Ponte de A Veiga in Tui, Galicia, is an ancient medieval bridge also known as the "Roman Bridge." Its original construction is attributed to the Romans, and it stands over the Louro River, near where it flows into the Miño.
The Ponte de A Veiga was built of granite and consists of four arches. It was part of the ancient Roman Via XIX, which connected Bracara (present-day Braga, Portugal) with Santiago de Compostela.
Pilgrims walking the Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela pass over this bridge, making it a place of great historical significance.
If you ever visit Tui, don't miss the opportunity to cross this beautiful bridge and immerse yourself in its history and charm. 🌉🚶‍♂️

The stone bridge that crosses the Louro River suggests that its origin dates back to Roman times. On one side of the bridge you will find a river beach to cool off on a hot day and rest under the shade of the trees
