At the southern edge of the city is the 200-year-old Roman bridge, connecting the banks of the Río Tormes. Historically, it formed part of the Camino de la Plata (Silver Way), a Roman trade route stretching from Mérida in Extremadura to Astorga. This was the path that most Andalusian and Castilian Christians took to complete their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
