Puente Romano in Mérida, Spain, is an ancient Roman bridge that spans the Guadiana River. Built in the 1st century BC, it is one of the longest surviving Roman bridges, originally measuring approximately 790 meters in length with 60 granite arches. The bridge played a crucial role in connecting the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta, now known as Mérida, to other parts of the Roman Empire. Over the centuries, it has undergone several restorations to preserve its structure.
