Bridge over Meraña river

Bridge over Meraña river

A small bridge of Roman origin, which is one of the landmarks of Caldas de Reis and has been used by pilgrims for centuries.

Part of Caldas de Reis’s history dates back to Roman times, and a fine example of this is the bridge over the River Bermaña, in the centre of Caldas. It consists of three semicircular arches, and parts of the ancient Roman paving can still be seen on it. The masonry is of more recent origin, but it still retains a medieval cruceiro on one side, bearing witness to the bridge’s long history.
