XE3A4381 - Puente Romano - Roman Bridge (Carmona, Sevilla)

Saliendo de Carmona a través de la Puerta de Córdoba, a unos 900 metros a mano izquierda en la carretera, encontramos el desvío donde se inicia el camino sobre la antigua Calzada Romana que nos lleva hasta el Puente.
Fue reconstruido en época medieval y restaurado a finales del siglo XX. En esta intervención también se recuperó parte de la Vía Augusta que pasaba sobre él.
Antes de ésta última intervención, apenas quedaban las ruinas del puente romano que cruzaba un pequeño arroyo camino de Carmona. Se trata de una infraestructura perteneciente a la Vía Augusta que comunicaba Córdoba con esta localidad.
El Puente consta de cinco ojos y sólidos tajamares, (especie de contrafuertes apoyados en los pilares de los puentes) que hacen presuponer el caudal que en su día pudo tener lo que hoy no es más que un arroyo sin apenas agua.
Originales son: las piedras del pretil y las losas de la calzada romana.
Sin duda una bonita excursión y un agradable paseo que nos permite contemplar la belleza de la vega del Corbones, los campos de cultivo y divisar la ciudad de Carmona desde otro ángulo.

Leaving Carmona through the Gate of Cordoba, about 900 metres away on the left-hand side of the road, there is a turn-off which marks the start of the way to the old Roman road which leads to the Roman bridge.
It was rebuilt in medieval times and restored at the end of the 20th century, when part of the Via Augusta which connected Cordoba with Carmona and that passed over the bridge was also restored.
Before this last restoration, there had been very little left of the original Roman bridge that crossed a small stream on the route to Carmona.
The bridge is composed of five arches and solid cutwaters (the angular edges facing upstream designed to channel the water under the bridge and supported by the bridge pillars) which leads us to assume that there was once an important flow of water in what is now barely a stream with very little water.
The original parts are the stones of the parapet and the slabs on the Roman road.
Without a doubt a walk to the Roman bridge offers both a beautiful excursion and a pleasant walk allowing us to contemplate the beauty of the fertile Corbones plain, the rich fields of crops and to see the town of Carmona from another and very different angle.
