Mérida entdecken

The Roman Bridge of Mérida crosses the Guadiana River on 60 arches over a length of about 790 metres. Built when the colony of Emerita Augusta was founded, it was repaired in 686 and again in 1610, and part of it was blown up in 1812. Since the early 1990s it has been open only to people on foot, with the Alcazaba at its city end.

The Acueducto de los Milagros is a 1st-century AD Roman aqueduct that brought water from the Proserpina reservoir into Emerita Augusta. A stretch of about 830 metres still crosses the Albarregas valley, with 38 piers of granite and red brick linked by arches up to 25 metres high; later residents named it the aqueduct 'of the Miracles'.
