The Medieval Bridge of Coria is a historical structure that is located next to the main façade of the Monastery of San Juan Bautista or Corias. Its construction had the objective of connecting the monastery with the town of Corias. Although its foundations are believed to be of Roman origin, the bridge was rebuilt in 1571, as indicated by an inscription preserved on one of the stones of its parapet.

This bridge is from the 16th century and before it passed over the Alagón river. It is now an amazing remnant of the time and well worth visiting.

The old bridge (Puente renaissance) over the Alagón valley has no water running under it. It seems that the river waters were diverted to the south. The view from the bridge over the old city is very dramatic.
