Puente de Tordesillas - Valladolid, España - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

[ES] Sobre el origen del puente actual no existe referencia alguna, ni fecha, ni trazas, ni autores. El apuntamiento de sus arcos nos indican su origen medieval. Es una gran obra de sillería, tiene diez ojos, y entre los arcos lleva tajamares de planta triangular.

En el siglo X se sabe que había un puente, pero el edificio actual tiene sus orígenes en una profunda remodelación del siglo XV. La fuerza de la corriente obligó a su consolidación en los siglos XVI y XVIII.

La villa y su puente eran paso obligado de caminos que unían el noroeste de la Península con el centro, facilitando el cruce por el ancho y caudaloso río.

[EN] There is no reference to the origin of the current bridge, no date, no traces, no authors. The pointing of its arches indicates its medieval origin. It is a great work of masonry, it has ten eyes, and between the arches it has triangular cutwaters.

In the 10th century it is known that there was a bridge, but the current building has its origins in a profound remodeling of the 15th century. The force of the current forced its consolidation in the 16th and 18th centuries.

The town and its bridge were an obligatory passage for roads that linked the northwest of the Peninsula with the center, making it easier to cross the wide and mighty river.
