Aquelcabos Medieval Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Achecabos Bridge is commonly called a Roman bridge (since it was built on a previous bridge, predictably Roman). It is the oldest bridge in Arenas de San Pedro. It is expected that it was built in the eleventh century, so it is of medieval origin. It was widely used by travelers and transhumant shepherds, previously paying the toll or barge.
It consists of three arches, the central one being the largest of all. Its firm has been restored with cobblestone imitating the original. On both sides there is a one meter high stone parapet and various parts of its layout have been repaired with cement.
