Cáparra Roman bridge is in perfect condition because it has been remodelled many times over the centuries.
The well-known Roman bridge in Cáparra can be found next to the municipality of Oliva de Plasencia and on the Silver Way. The bridge was built to be used by the town of Cáparra.
Cáparra Roman bridge, declared a Property of Cultural Interest, still stands today in perfect condition because, although it was built many centuries ago, it has been altered and remodelled many times over the years.
It crosses the Ambroz River and is part of Cáparra's archaeological ensemble. -
