Construido en el s.XIII, el Ponte da Ramallosa consta de diez arcos con doble sistema de tajamares para combatir la fuerza del rio y las mareas, ya que está directamente en el Estuario da Foz, por el que remonta el agua de mar río arriba.
En medio tiene un crucero de San Telmo y un Peto de ánimas.
Por él pasa el Camino de Santiago Portugués y es límite entre los ayuntamientos de Baiona y Nigrán.
No hace muchos años aún se celebraban en este puente Bautismos Prenatales, como de hecho en muchos otros puentes gallegos románicos......podeis saber más sobre este curioso tema, en un trabajo que hice hace ya años, en el 2010 :

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.
Típica vista de Córdoba con el Guadalquivir a su paso bajo el puente romano y la mezquita al fondo. Córdoba. Andalucía. España. Spain.
* In this post the Guadalquivir River flowing through Cordoba looks extremely low. The focus of the shot is of course this very historic bridge over the river that dates back to the First century
The Roman bridge of Córdoba is a bridge in originally built in the early 1st century BC across the Guadalquivir river, though it has been reconstructed at various times since. It is also known locally as the Old Bridge as for two thousand years, until the construction of the San Rafael Bridge in the mid-twentieth century, it was the city's only bridge across the river.
Most of the present structure dates from the Arabs reconstruction in the 8th century.

This bridge is situated on the road to Briones in the foothills near the beautiful Riojan village of San Vicente de Sonsierra. The first three, arches which are the oldest, are pointed, the following three semicircular, the seventh is elliptical, the eighth carpanel, and the ninth is a traditional Roman arch. It rests on nine pillars of various shapes (triangular, pointy, and semicircular) set over nine rectangular bases.
Due to its excellent position, it served a defensive function on the Ebro River on the border of Navarre and Castile. Some theorize that it dates back all the way to 1172; however, this Romanesque structure is more likely to date back to the 13th century.
The Aqueduct of Segovia (or more accurately, the aqueduct bridge) is a Roman aqueduct in Segovia, Spain. With the Pont du Gard in France, it is one of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts.
The aqueduct once transported water from the Rio Frio river, situated in mountains 17 km (11 mi) from the city in the La Acebeda region. It runs 15 km (9.3 mi) before arriving in the city.
The water was first gathered in a tank known as El Caserón (or Big House), and was then led through a channel to a second tower known as the Casa de Aguas (or Waterhouse). There it was naturally decanted and sand settled out before the water continued its route. Next the water traveled 728 m (796 yd) on a one-percent grade until it was high upon the Postigo, a rocky outcropping on which sits the walled city center with its Alcázar or castle.
To reach the old city, the water is conveyed by its aqueduct bridge. At Plaza de Díaz Sanz (Díaz Sanz Plaza), the structure makes an abrupt turn and heads toward Plaza Azoguejo (Azoguejo Plaza). It is there the monument begins to display its full splendor. At its tallest, the aqueduct reaches a height of 28.5 m (93 ft 6 in), including nearly 6 m (19 ft 8 in) of foundation.

Die Römische Brücke wurde um 45 vor Christus erbaut und überquert den Guadalquivir auf ca. 250 m Länge in 16 Bögen - The Roman Bridge was built around 45 B.C. and crosses the Guadalquivir River over a length of about 250 meters in 16 arches (Cordoba, Spain)
In architecture, a folly is a building constructed strictly as a decoration, having none of the usual purposes of housing or sheltering associated with a conventional structure. They originated as decorative accents in parks and estates. "Folly" is used in the sense of fun or light-heartedness, not in the sense of something ill-advised.
(WIKIPEDIA)
The bridge was built in 1805, blown up in 1944, rebuilt after WW2.

Saliendo de Carmona a través de la Puerta de Córdoba, a unos 900 metros a mano izquierda en la carretera, encontramos el desvío donde se inicia el camino sobre la antigua Calzada Romana que nos lleva hasta el Puente.
Fue reconstruido en época medieval y restaurado a finales del siglo XX. En esta intervención también se recuperó parte de la Vía Augusta que pasaba sobre él.
Antes de ésta última intervención, apenas quedaban las ruinas del puente romano que cruzaba un pequeño arroyo camino de Carmona. Se trata de una infraestructura perteneciente a la Vía Augusta que comunicaba Córdoba con esta localidad.
El Puente consta de cinco ojos y sólidos tajamares, (especie de contrafuertes apoyados en los pilares de los puentes) que hacen presuponer el caudal que en su día pudo tener lo que hoy no es más que un arroyo sin apenas agua.
Originales son: las piedras del pretil y las losas de la calzada romana.
Sin duda una bonita excursión y un agradable paseo que nos permite contemplar la belleza de la vega del Corbones, los campos de cultivo y divisar la ciudad de Carmona desde otro ángulo.

Leaving Carmona through the Gate of Cordoba, about 900 metres away on the left-hand side of the road, there is a turn-off which marks the start of the way to the old Roman road which leads to the Roman bridge.
It was rebuilt in medieval times and restored at the end of the 20th century, when part of the Via Augusta which connected Cordoba with Carmona and that passed over the bridge was also restored.
Before this last restoration, there had been very little left of the original Roman bridge that crossed a small stream on the route to Carmona.
The bridge is composed of five arches and solid cutwaters (the angular edges facing upstream designed to channel the water under the bridge and supported by the bridge pillars) which leads us to assume that there was once an important flow of water in what is now barely a stream with very little water.
The original parts are the stones of the parapet and the slabs on the Roman road.
Without a doubt a walk to the Roman bridge offers both a beautiful excursion and a pleasant walk allowing us to contemplate the beauty of the fertile Corbones plain, the rich fields of crops and to see the town of Carmona from another and very different angle.
Completely the wrong time of day for this shot but I'd never been before and hadn't done any research at all. It should work better mid morning or closer to sunset and also when there has been much more rain. Wasn't really feeling it on this visit and struggled with the harsh light and having distinctly unsuitable footwear on. It's not a place to be wearing trainers!
Penmachno is a few miles outside of Betws-y-Coed and it's easier to take the rather wonderful drive over the stark and barren landscape of Denbigh Moors than straight down the A55. You can see the mountains of Snowdonia as you come over the top and begin to descend in to Pentrefoelas with the distinctive shape of Tryfan and the Carneddau prominent.
Definitely one to revisit.

On the left hand you can see the bell tower of Mezquita, on the right the old roman bridge.
It's grey, windy and sleeting outside so nice to look back at a lovely summer day and a walk along the river Goyt.
The bridge and nearby lakes have nothing to do with the Romans but date from the Victorian era.

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.
Hannibal's bridge, Legend says that this bridge and associated road served as a main artery for Hannibal sacking of South Italy during the Second Punic wars. Roman Legions supposedly destroyed the bridges to limit his movement, but to no avail. He waged havoc on the southern Italian península from 216 BC till 203 BC
The picturesque town of Tavira was founded in 400 BC and was an important trading post between Europe and North Africa. The River Gilão, on the banks of which the town is built is crossed by two main bridges. One of these is known as the Roman Bridge (Ponte Romana) as it was built on the foundations of the bridge on the route of the Roman road which linked Faro and Castro Marim. A tile Plaque located at the southern end of the Tavira Roman bridge is a Memorial of fallen heroes of the crisis of 1383 to 1385 of the Independence of Portugal. […]. From the bridge there are good views of the palm-fringed riverbanks and many of the city’s finest buildings. Google
Have a wonderful new week!

The little Grade ii-listed bridge on the right carries the road over the River Pol at the end of Polperro's harbour, and is known as Roman Bridge. Until around 1854 it had a wooden lintel over the stream, but then the dressed stone arch replaced it. The River Pol, also known as the Polperro River, rises near the village of Pelynt, and then flows through a steep valley into the hamlet of Crumplehorn before reaching Polperro. Within the village of Polperro it flows alongside a number of buildings and passes under many bridges, before it finally reaches the harbour and flows into the sea.
Polperro on the south-east Cornish coast is a charming and picturesque fishing village with a small fish market on the side of the harbour. But like so many traditional fishing villages it now relies for its main income on the tourist industry. There are several art galleries here which sell paintings by the local artists, and there are some very nice pubs and restaurants in the quaint narrow streets and alleys. It is a truly delightful place to visit.
El Puente fue construido a principios del siglo I d.C., sobre el río Guadalquivir, durante la época de dominación romana. La Torre de la Calahorra es una fortaleza de origen islámico concebida como entrada y protección del Puente Romano. Ambos forman parte del centro histórico de Córdoba, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
