“Ponte Nafonso”

This bridge is called “Ponte das Pías” in medieval documents. It crosses the Tambre River and links the municipalities of Outes and Noia, serving as the border between the two. It is believed to have been built during the reign of Alfonso IX, whom it is called after. Before it was built, people had to cross the estuary by boat. It owes its present-day appearance to medieval modifications and the reconstruction that was carried out between 1842 and 1844. It is supported by 20 arches, although it originally had 27. It is one of the longest medieval bridges in Galicia, measuring almost 270 metres.
