The medieval bridge of Pontevea is an interprovincial bridge that for hundreds of years has been the only access route to Compostela from the lands of the Val do Vea. Its architectural characteristics reveal a Romanesque-ogival construction, with six ashlar arches, three semicircular and another three slightly pointed, supported by five large pillars, with triangular cuttings upstream and trapezoidal downstream. The bridge has a certain slope from the central pillar and a slight curve coinciding with this same pillar. The exact date of the current bridge is not known, although historians place its construction around the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries, replacing or modifying a previous bridge, possibly Roman, related to the XNUMXth route of the Antonino itinerary, which communicated Braga with Lugo and crossed the "Pons Vellegia" (Pontevea) from Aquis Celenis (Cuntis).
