The Puente Romano (Roman Bridge) was erected over the River Tormes during the reign of Emperor Trajan. The 15 arches nearest the city are original; the rest were swept away during a massive flood in the 17th century and later replaced.
Notice the statue of the Verraco Ibérico (Iberian Boar), an emblem of the city attributed to pre-Roman inhabitants and which most people mistake for a headless bull. The bridge formed part of the ancient Roman Camino de la Plata (silver route), a heavily traveled route spanning from Mérida to Astorga.
