The bridge over the Miño, of Roman origin, whose main arch gave way in the 12th century and which was repaired and collapsed again until the final rebuilding of the 17th century, around 1660 in one article and in 1679 in another, directed by Melchor de Velasco Agüero. Its central arch spans more than 35 metres and shows no Roman fabric. It has been pedestrian since 1999.
