Ponte Maceira

Monument · Ames, Santiago, A Coruña

Medieval ashlar bridge of five arches over the river Tambre, the central one pointed with a span of fourteen metres, built between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in the parish of Agrón to link Compostela with the ports of Fisterra; pilgrims still cross it on their way to Fisterra, and legend has it that it collapsed after the disciples of Saint James had passed, holding back their pursuers. It has been a Ben de Interese Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) since 2022.
