This bridge was built to facilitate crossing the Adaja River and connect the Roman city of Ávila with the opposite bank. Although only the hidden abutments on the edges of the original Roman bridge remain, the bridge visible today dates back to the 12th century.

An impressive welcome to the old town of Ávila. The bridge reaches the old gate of the city wall. The stone bridge, from Roman times, over the Adaja river.

Old bridge that is located at the foot of the Río Adaja and that is located next to the new bridge. This one, of Romanesque origin, has been used over the centuries by the inhabitants of the city at the same time as entering through the west side of the walls.
