It’s simply incredible that the Roman bridge in Mérida, built nearly 2,000 years ago, is still standing in excellent condition and remains in active use today. Spanning the Guadiana River, it stretches over 790 meters, making it one of the longest surviving Roman bridges in the world. Originally constructed in the 1st century AD and later restored in the 9th century during the Moorish period, the bridge reflects the Romans’ advanced engineering skills. Currently used as a pedestrian bridge, it serves as a functional link between both sides of the river, offering a unique opportunity to walk across a piece of history. Its graceful arches and solid structure are a testament to Roman ingenuity, making it not only a vital historical landmark but also a scenic and serene spot for locals and visitors alike.

If you can make the time to see this I highly recommend. At night it is lit up so that makes for a breathtaking view as well. Tickets are not needed.
