The history of Salamanca's Roman bridge is intertwined with that of the city itself, and it has been one of its defining features for centuries. Located in a position that facilitated human settlement and the development of economic activity, its proximity to the three hills and the Tormes River made it a strategic location. It is a solid bridge, resistant to the passage of time. For centuries it served as the main access point to the city, until a new bridge was completed over the Tormes River in 1913, allowing the passage of vehicles.

The Roman Bridge of Salamanca, also known as Puente Mayor del Tormes, is an ancient bridge that crosses the Tormes River in the city of Salamanca, Spain. This bridge has a rich history and is a testament to Roman and medieval architecture.

The Roman Bridge, or Puente Romano. This magnificent granite structure with 26 arches crosses the Tormes River. The 15 arches on the city side are of Roman origin, while the rest date from the 18th century, when a restoration took place. It is such a great symbol for Salamanca that it is included in the city's coat of arms.

In its beginnings, it was a modest watchtower built by King Ferdinand II of León. Despite the devastation during the time of King Henry IV of Castile and the Communities, the 1st Duke of Alba de Tormes, García Álvarez de Toledo y Carrillo de Toledo, rebuilt it and turned it into his private palace.
