Roman Roads
#10
Quote:Just out of curiosity, I may have asked this before, but, when I was in Toledo, I saw what looked to be cyclopean type stone work, that could have been part of a bridge foundation, in the gorge between the walled town and the military academy( or some thing, I can't recall for sure)across the gorge. Does anyone know if this was Roman or does it predate them?

(Link does not work. See WP: Puente de San Martín (Toledo) )

but more probably the Puente de Alcantara (that in Toledo, not the famous one 100 km further downstream). It is built on Roman foundations. Span IIRC about 25 m.

There must be also the remains of a third bridge abit downstream in the plain.
