Built during the Roman period, it is an important vestige of that people's presence in the municipality. The Roman presence in the parish of Muge is clearly evident in the area of Porto de Sabugueiro. The most striking vestiges of this historical period are found here. Porto de Sabugueiro, due to its proximity to the Tagus River, was an important river port during the Roman period. Excavations and published studies define this location as an important Roman village, with ceramic production, due to the existence of a ceramic kiln found here in the 1960s. Approximately 400 meters from this location is the Roman Bridge, which crosses the Muge stream. The construction techniques used, especially in the larger arch, undoubtedly indicate a Roman origin; however, the two smaller arches, due to their typology, are attributable to the Middle Ages. This bridge was one of the main crossing points connecting Muge to the interior of the country (Alentejo) and to the city of Santarém. It possesses undeniable historical value, forming part of the memory and heritage identity of the municipality of Salvaterra de Magos. (Source: www.salvaterrademagos.pt)

The origins of the Ermida Bridge possibly date back to the end of the 15th century. A Royal Road passed through here, which was intended to connect the river port of Vila Nova da Rainha and Caldas da Rainha. It was the route of the royal and court routes since D. João II, and was also frequently used by D. João V and D. Carlos. All that remains of this 15th century Royal Road is the emblematic Ermida Bridge, a work of art structured and built in dressed stone and its sumptuous Romanesque arch, or round arch. Due to its total lack of conservation and because it has to support loads (heavy agricultural machinery) for which it was not designed, it is currently at risk of collapse, and its passage is even closed.

It is surrounded by beautiful and abundant trees and is a bridge with a Romanesque arch. There are several theories regarding its construction; some argue that it was built during the reign of D. João II, in order to facilitate the King's movement when he went to meet Queen D. Leonor for a swim in Caldas, while others claim that it was built in the 19th century due to a technical issue, namely its width. Interestingly, this bridge supports two enormous pine trees on the upper part of the road.
