Monument · Balmaseda, Enkartazioak / Encartaciones, Bizkaia

Image of Balmaseda, not of the place itself.

Romanesque-Gothic bridge built between the 12th and 15th centuries over the Cadagua river, with a central defensive tower where a toll used to be collected. It was declared Monumento Histórico-Artístico (Spain's heritage designation in force between 1931 and 1985) in 1984 (a designation now folded into the Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) regime).
