Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Alcantara Bridge
The Puente de Alcántara is a Roman arch bridge in Toledo, Spain, spanning the Tagus River. The word Alcántara comes from Arabic, which means bridge. Toledo Alcantara Bridge was declared a national cultural monument in 1921.
Located at the feet of the Castillo de San Servando, it was built by the Romans after they founded the city. In the Middle Ages it was one of the few entrances of the pilgrim into the city.
The bridge should not be confused with either the Alcántara Bridge in Alcántara or the Alconétar Bridge in the Extremadura region, both Roman bridges situated further downstream.

The Alcántara Bridge (also known as Puente Trajan at Alcantara) is a Roman stone arch bridge built over the Tagus River at Alcántara, Spain between 104 and 106 AD by an order of the Roman Emperor Trajan in 98. It bears the inscription Pontem perpetui mansurum in saecula (I have built a bridge which will last forever) on the archway over the central pier.
The bridge originally measured 190 m in length, which is today reduced to 181.7 m, because the damages from wars.

Posiblemente estemos ante el puente romano más relevante de los que quedan en el mundo. De hecho, su nombre, Alcantara (Al Qantarat), quiere decir el puente en árabe, suficiente para comprender la importancia de esta obra. Fue constuido entre los años 105 y 106 por el arquitecto romano Cayo Iulio Lacer en la Vía que comunicaba Norba -actual Cáceres- con Conimbriga - hoy Condeixa-a-Velha-, por lo que no es un acceso a ninguna ciudad.
Está compuesto por seis arcos que salvan una distancia de 214 m. sobre el río Tajo y que se apoyan en cinco pilares y dos estribos en sus extremos

Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo San Martin Bridge
The Puente de San Martín is a medieval bridge across the river Tagus in Toledo, Spain. Toledo San Martin Bridge was constructed in the late 14th century by archbishop Pedro Tenorio to provide access to the old town from the west, complementing the older Puente de Alcántara linking to the east. Both sides of the bridge were heavily fortified with towers, the more recent dating from the 16th century.
The Puente de San Martín features five arches, with the largest in the middle reaching an impressive span length of 40 m. Only very few bridges in the world had reached that mark until then.
Toledo San Martin Bridge linked the city of Toledo to the west. An earlier bridge was destroyed by flooding and it is thought that this rebuilt bridge was completed by the early 14th century. Defensive towers are at each end of the bridge.

Toledo is truly one of Spain's most magnificent cities. Dramatically sited atop a gorge overlooking the Río Tajo, it was known as the City Of Three Cultures in the Middle Ages, a place where Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities peacefully coexisted. Unsurprisingly, rediscovering the vestiges of this unique cultural synthesis remains modern Toledo’s most compelling attraction. Horseshoe-arched mosques, Sephardic synagogues and one of Spain’s finest Gothic cathedrals cram into its dense historical core. But the layers go much deeper. Further sleuthing will reveal Visigothic and Roman roots. Though it's justifiably popular with day trippers, try to stay overnight to really appreciate the city in all its haunting glory.

Toledo is considered most representative of Spanish culture, and its historic centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986. Its rocky site is traversed by narrow, winding streets, with steep gradients and rough surfaces, centring on the Plaza Zocodover. Two bridges cross the Río Tajo: in the northeast is the bridge of Alcántara, at the foot of the medieval castle of San Servando, parts of which date from Roman and Moorish times, in the northwest is the bridge of San Martín, dating from the late 13th century. Parts of the walls of Toledo are of Visigothic origin, although most are Moorish or Christian. There are well-preserved gateways from various periods, including the Puerta Vieja de Bisagra from the 10th century, traditionally used by Alfonso VI in 1085.
