Views of the Roman bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Roman bridge of Cangas de Onís, or puentón, is located over the Sella river and is one of the symbols of Asturias. Although it is known as the Roman bridge, it is a medieval construction from the time of the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile with its famous peralted arch and two other minor arches that are unequal. In 1939, a large Victory Cross, symbol of Asturias, was placed in the center of its great central arch.

The Roman bridge of Cangas de Onís is located over the Sella River, separating the municipalities of Cangas de Onís and Parres. The truth is that the current bridge is not Roman, but medieval from the 13th century (although restored on several occasions), but it was built on the foundations of a Roman bridge. The bridge has become a symbol of Asturias, since the cross on the inverted crescent commemorates the defeat of the Arabs in the battle of Covadonga.

The church was built in the 13th century and is considered one of the most emblematic monuments of the city. Don Pelayo was an Asturian nobleman who led the resistance against the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century. He is considered one of Spain's national heroes and is credited with founding the kingdom of Asturias, of which he was its first king. The connection between the Church of the Assumption and Don Pelayo lies in the fact that it is believed that the church was built on the place where the Battle of Covadonga took place, led by Don Pelayo in the year 722, which is considered the first victory of the Christians. on Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula. In this way, the church becomes an important place of pilgrimage for Asturians and for lovers of Spanish history.
