Águeda Main Bridge · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

Although its origin may have been Roman, nothing remains today of that period in the bridge over the Águeda River. The present Puente Mayor, known in eighteenth-century documentation as the Puente Principal or Puente Grande, is the result of two construction phases. Thus, the four arches closest to the suburb date from the medieval period, and the part closest to the city, which in the middle of the 16th century was made of wood, was designed in 1769 by Juan de Sagarbinaga, who, together with Simón del Cotero Crespo, was in charge of its materialization.
