Its origins date back to the 10th century, during the Caliphate era and the period of Islamic rule. Although the bridge we see today incorporates various construction phases and subsequent reconstructions, it still retains vestiges of that original medieval structure, making it one of the oldest bridges in the region.
Its distinctive stone arch, spanning the Linares River, stands out for its solid architecture and how it blends into the landscape. Beneath it, the water winds its way through the rocks and riverside vegetation, while the mountains and the village’s traditional houses complete a scene brimming with authenticity.
Next to the Loreto Chapel, this bridge is much more than just a crossing: it bears witness to centuries of history, ancient paths, and the lives of generations that have shaped Linares de Mora.
Ten centuries of history that continue to pulse through its stones.
A spot to pause, contemplate, and discover the essence of our villages, where heritage and nature come together in perfect harmony.
