The bridge was designed and built in 1955 by the renowned Portuguese engineer Edgar Cardoso. It is considered the first motorway bridge in the Portuguese section of the Douro River and is a concrete arch bridge with a length of approximately 300 meters. It is named after the Portuguese naval officer and colonial administrator Almirante Manuel Maria Sarmento Rodrigues, who served as governor of Guinea and Mozambique under the Salazar dictatorship and later became Minister of Colonies.

Castelo Rodrigo holds millennia of history, from Paleolithic and Roman remains to the Muslim presence in the castle. Conquered and reconquered between the 12th and 13th centuries, it became a town and municipality under King Alfonso IX of León and passed definitively to Portugal in 1297, when King Dinis rebuilt and repopulated the castle. Marked by wars, charters, and restorations, it welcomed pilgrims on their way to Santiago and remains today one of the twelve Historic Villages of Portugal.

Castelo Rodrigo is a village with a medieval soul, where time has left its deep marks: walls, stone streets and remains of an ancient community of New Christians. Surrounded by magnificent landscapes, from the Douro International Natural Park to the Côa Valley, passing through the Serra da Marofa and the Faia Brava Reserve, this village is an invitation to contemplation and to taste. Here, history is served at the table: Marofa lamb, octopus in migas or rice are flavors that count as much as the books.
