Alpha & Omega
Puente Romano ( Roman Bridge ) - the iconic symbol of Asturias in the town of Cangas de Onis, the first capital of Asturias and the gateway to the eastern part of the Picos de Europa mountain range.
The bridge was originally built by the Romans, but what we now can see dates from the 13th century. The cross hanging from the middle arch is a replica of the famous Cruz de la Victoria (Victory Cross), the official symbol of Asturias that celebrates the victory of King Pelayo over the Moors in the Battle of Covadonga in 722.
