Roman Bridge of Lugo

The Roman bridge of Lugo crosses the Minho river in Lugo, Galicia [1]. The bridge is of Roman origin and has been rebuilt many times in its history [1]. The structure is made primarily of stone and slate [1]. The bridge was designed and built during the Romanization of Galicia [1]. It utilized route number XIX of the Antonine Itinerary, connecting Lucus Augusti with Bracara Augusta and passing through Iria Flavia [1]. The reason for its construction was the need to cross the Miño River [1]. Centuries later, during the Late Middle Ages, the bridge underwent significant restorations [1].
