Puente Románico fortificado sobre el río Fluviá de 135 metros de largo, 15 metros de largo y formado por ocho arcos. Encima del quinto pilar esta la torre fortificada de planta hexagonal.
La primera noticia que se tiene del puente data del año 1075 y ha sido destruido y reconstruido varias veces, la última en la guerra civil Española donde volaron dos de los arcos.
Su estructura, enteramente de piedra y perfectamente adaptada a la caprichosa orografía esculpida por el curso fluvial que debe salvar, las distintas arcadas apuntadas que se van sucediendo a lo largo de los nada menos que 145 metros, describiendo incluso un atrevido ángulo oblicuo que divide en dos el pasaje.
Pues eso, que una joyita medieval digna de contemplar.
