Ponte Romana sobre a Ribeira de Odivelas
This Roman Bridge has 26 arches interspaced by round holes. Even though the bridge has roman origins, it underwent several reconstructions during the Visigoth and Arabs period. One of which is attributed to the Moorish King Iscar, one the Arabian chiefs defeated by D. Afonso Henriques during Ourique battle. This bidge is Cuba’s ex-libris, hence it is the only National Monument in this village.
