Old Bridge (Dom Manuel Bridge), Tomar

Highlight • Bridge

A rather old arched road and pedestrian bridge connecting the two banks of the Nabão River in the city of Tomar. It is said that the Romans first crossed the Nabão River on this site. It was rebuilt in the 16th century and widened in the 19th century, with the stone railings removed and replaced with metal ones. It was completely redesigned in the first half of the 20th century, with the railings renewed and widened, and the piers and buttresses stabilized. It makes a stunning photo opportunity, especially at dusk and from the nearby parks.
