Old Bridge

Medieval bridge documented since 1219, with five arches and 59 metres in length, now crossed by pilgrims on the English Way.

Already existing in 1219 under the name “Unctia”, this medieval bridge was rebuilt several times due to flooding. It now spans 59 metres with five semicircular arches and is crossed by pilgrims on the English Way.
