Medieval Bridge, Castro Urdiales

The often misnamed "Roman bridge" by the whole world, is also located in the port, in front of the Rock of Santa Ana.

However, the construction of this bridge is located in the Middle Ages, although due to a storm the upper part had to be rebuilt some years ago.

It is built in stone in the shape of an ogival arch and was part of a set of bridges and footbridge that joined the promontory where the castle-lighthouse is located with the hermitage of Santa Ana isolated from the earth since the rock was surrounded by the sea until the construction of the current port.

The bridge and the footbridge sisters of this, were demolished in the early twentieth century to facilitate the installation of the machinery responsible for building the breakwater.

At the foot of the bridge, the presence of a sea inlet confined in a large construction as a quadrangular stone pool that fills and empties according to the level of the tide is surprising.
