The Roman Bridge of Villarigo is located east of Villafáfila, near Laguna Salina Grande and Laguna el Puente. This bridge, dating from the High Roman Empire (27 BC - 305 AD), has three arches of unequal size, with the central arch twice the size of the side arches. Although it has been extensively rebuilt, it retains its original structure with strong ashlar voussoirs.
The bridge was part of a network of Roman roads that connected various settlements and facilitated crossing the Villafáfila lagoons. Today, the bridge is a point of historical and architectural interest in the region.

Currently reconstructed, the Roman Bridge of Villarigo, named for being in the vicinity of the old town of Villarigo, belongs to the time of the High Roman Empire. We can see it perfectly from the road.
If we are curious, we can read more information at: villafafila.net/puentevillarigo/puentevillarigo.htm
If we feel like it and we have time, it is always worth going to the Casa del Parque de Villafáfila (€2 adults) next to the road. lagunasdevillafafila.es/centro-de-interpretacion-de-las-lagunas/la-casa-del-parque
