When we cross the bridge, we have beautiful views of the Tagus and San Juan de los Reyes. Its date of construction is not known with certainty. It was part of the city's defensive system next to the Alcántara bridge. Built entirely with granite ashlars, it consists of five slightly pointed arches, the central one standing out for its size. It has two defensive towers with an irregular polygonal plan, crenellated, one at each end. The bridge was used as a pontazgo, collecting the various taxes - common in the Middle Ages to finance public works - that were paid for the passage of different goods and migratory livestock, linking the city with the Montes de Toledo region and with Estremadura. In addition, the bridge served the muleteers who transported granite from Ventas con Peña Aguilera, marble from San Pablo de los Montes, charcoal or other products from the area. During the reign of Charles II, at the end of the 17th century, the bridge was partially renovated, widening its entrances and modifying the interior tower, whose door was topped with a large imperial shield flanked by the figures of two seated kings and two stone plaques. that detail the characteristics of the work and its completion date, 1690. A century later, in 1760 and with Charles III as king, the bridge was paved, as indicated by a plaque carved in stone located on the right parapet. It was declared a National Artistic Monument in 1921, supporting the passage of road traffic until 1976, from which date only pedestrian use was allowed.

Torrijos gives its name to its region in the plain between the Tajo and Alberche rivers. It is the natural center of trade in goods and services in this area of Toledo. With its population of almost 13,000 inhabitants, it has all the services of a small city and has direct communications by train and bus with the main cities of Toledo and Extremadura. Its monuments, such as the palace of Peter I or its collegiate church, testify to its historical importance since the Middle Ages.

We can tour its large courtyard, and the almost square plan that it presents, indicating by its size and the time in which it was erected, that it served as a residence rather than a defensive fort. Two interesting cubes are indications of the barrier and the moat that protected the entrance door to the enclosure, and of which there are no remains. Three towers, two circular, another square, and the homage, make up the rest of the enclosure. Juan de Silva, the first Count of Cifuentes, began the construction of the fortress in the 14th century, which would be completed by his grandson, with the same name. It was endowed with artillery and garrison in the 16th century.

The interior tower is badly disfigured by later additions and reforms, under the reign of Carlos II, while the exterior keeps its ribbed vaults and pointed and horseshoe arches.
