Ponte Cabalar - A Pobra de Trives, Ourense, España - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

[GAL] “Esta ponte está situada sobre o río Cabalar, conta cun só arco e calzada de lousas. Foi reconstruído no ano 1832 e veu a substituír outro que alí existía, xa que pasaba unha calzada romana, aínda que non chegou practicamente nada da súa fábrica romana ata os nosos días.

Declarado monumento histórico-artístico, ademais do seu valor construtivo, hai que destacar o valor paisaxístico do ámbito que a rodea, onde resaltaremos a existencia de dous muíños e a beleza dunha paraxe chea de encanto e intimidade, rodeado de árbores e cun continuo son da auga, sen olvidarnos da antiga fábrica de chocolate que foi construída por José Salgado alá polo 1889.

Camiño medieval e tamén xacobeo, que dende Terras de Sanabria chegaba a Sobrado de Trives e na Ponte Cabalar uníase coa Vía XVIII. Esta vía romana consérvase, neste tramo, en bo estado.”

[EN] “This bridge over the Cabalar River has a single arch and a stone roadway. It was rebuilt in 1832 and came to replace another one that existed there, as a Roman road passed through it, although practically nothing of its Roman structure has survived to the present day.

In addition to the constructive value of this officially recognised historic-artistic monument, the surrounding landscape is also worth taking in, especially the two mills and the beauty of the charming and picturesque spot, surrounded by trees and a continuous murmur of the running water, with the added curiosity of an old chocolate factory built by José Salgado in 1889.

Medieval and Jacobean Route, running from Tierras de Sanabria to Sobrado de Trives, and merging with Via XVIII at the Cabalar Bridge. This Roman road is still in good condition along this stretch.”
