    For centuries, crossing the Côa Valley was only possible via two bridges: the São Roque Bridge and this one, the Ponte Grande, the gateway to Almeida.

    Built in the 17th century and renovated in the 19th century, the Ponte Grande was forever linked to the Battle of the Côa in 1810, when the Portuguese-British forces resisted the third Napoleonic invasion. Today, the bridge remains a silent guardian of that memory.
