190 Roman Bridge of Fronteira

#1885 , 190

169

This solid granite Bridge with ten round arches is located north to the beautiful village of Fronteira, at about 1,5km, on the road to Alter do Chão.

With no official confirmation, it is thought that the bridge construction might have been done over a Roman construction from the beginning of the Christian period, not only for the type of construction but also because of the fact that in this location a military Roman road passed through.

 

All the surrounding area has suffered pleasant restoration works, with the opening of the lovely Fluvial Beach of Ribeira Grande, attracting many visitors to one of the most pleasant places in Fronteira’s region.
