Roman Bridge. San Vicente de la Sonsierra, La Rioja, Spain

            This bridge is situated on the road to Briones in the foothills near the beautiful Riojan village of San Vicente de Sonsierra. The first three, arches which are the oldest, are pointed, the following three semicircular, the seventh is elliptical, the eighth carpanel, and the ninth is a traditional Roman arch. It rests on nine pillars of various shapes (triangular, pointy, and semicircular) set over nine rectangular bases.

Due to its excellent position, it served a defensive function on the Ebro River on the border of Navarre and Castile. Some theorize that it dates back all the way to 1172; however, this Romanesque structure is more likely to date back to the 13th century.
