Almaraz Bridge over the Tagus

A stunning historic bridge with ashlar arches and triangular cutwaters, the perfect spot to admire 16th-century engineering and enjoy views of the River Tagus.
Also known as the Albalat Bridge, it was built during the reign of Charles V. It consists of two ashlar arches, one pointed and the other semicircular, with spans of 33.40 m and 39 m. The second arch is the result of a reconstruction carried out between 1841 and 1845. The central pier features triangular-plan cutwaters and semi-circular abutments. It remains in use
