The Roman bridge of Madrigal, also known as the "Old Bridge," is a bridge of Roman origin that crosses the Alardos Gorge, a narrow valley carved by the Tiétar River. Currently, it consists of only one arch; its original form is unknown, as it underwent several reconstructions.
The bridge was built as part of the Roman road that linked Plasencia with Puerto del Pico and Ávila.

A beautiful spot in Madrigal de la Vera.

There's a natural pool for swimming. Naturally, the water is quite cold.

Impressive Roman-style bridge. It's believed to have been based on a Roman original and dates back to the Middle Ages.
