Address:
Castellbisbal, Spain

The Pont del Diable , also known as Sant Bartomeu Bridge, is a medieval bridge crossing the river Llobregat and straddling the municipalities of Martorell and Castellbisbal in Catalonia, Spain. The bridge is restricted to pedestrians. The present bridge, featuring a large pointed arch, was constructed in 1283 on Roman foundations. The main clear span is 37.3 metres with a stone chapel on top. A secondary arch has a span of 19.1 metres .

It is now surrounded on three sides by road flyovers and railway lines.

It still features a Roman triumphal arch at its eastern abutment. It is unclear how many spans the original Roman bridge had.
