Located over the Tâmega River, the São Gonçalo Bridge is the welcoming card to the beautiful Amarante city centre . Portugal.
The actual construction dates from the 18th century, as in 1763 the previous building collapsed, leading to the reconstruction of that structure that probably dated from 1250. Nevertheless it is not clear if that one was also a reconstruction of a previous bridge.
In fact, here passed the Roman road that linked Amarante to Guimarães and Braga (all are northern towns), hence there were enough conditions for having here a Roman bridge previously to the medieval one.
