Puente Romano (Roman Bridge), Ronda

The Roman Bridge, is an ancient stone bridge that spans the deep gorge of Tajo. The gorge itself reaches depths of up to 120 meters, making the bridge an impressive feat of engineering. Located outside the city ramparts, the Roman Bridge sits lower than the nearby Puente Viejo and is one of three bridges crossing this natural chasm.

Despite its name, the current structure dates to the 1600s and was built on the foundations of an older bridge, possibly from Roman times, which gives the bridge its historical association.

Known also as San Miguel Bridge, it served as an important crossing before being largely replaced in the 16th century when the growing Mercadillo district required better access to the old town across the canyon.
