The Romanesque Bridge is located in the peaceful village of Linhares, within the municipality of Carrazeda de Ansiães. Its position is notable, establishing a connection between the banks of a waterway set within the vast and dramatic geographical context of the Tua and Douro river valleys. The surrounding area is characterized by the rural Douro landscape, dotted with terraces and typical regional vegetation.
Known as the Romanesque Bridge, its name points to an origin or style dating back to the Middle Ages, highlighting its historical importance as a crossing point throughout the centuries. Although its deck underwent renovations in the 20th century, the structure retains the solidity and beauty of its three semicircular arches, built with local granite. These arches are a testament to the constructive expertise of past eras, designed to withstand time and the forces of nature.
The bridge's location provides an environment of great serenity, inviting contemplation of the landscape. The gentle flow of water beneath the arches, combined with the lush vegetation on the banks, creates a peaceful atmosphere and a picturesque scenery. This location offers an opportunity to appreciate the calm of nature and the simple beauty of a construction that harmoniously blends with the characteristic riverside landscape of this Trás-os-Montes area.
