It crosses the Oja River, connecting different parts of the city. Built in the 12th century by Saint Dominic de la Calzada to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The stone bridge features several arches, a fine example of medieval engineering.

The Torreón de Sor María de Leiva is one of the historical attractions of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. It is part of the walled enclosure of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, the tower is an example of the defensive architecture of the period. The tower and its surroundings offer excellent opportunities for photography, especially at sunset.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.
