Taboada Bridge

About

The Taboada Bridge (Ponte Taboada, Puente Taboada) is a historic stone arch bridge crossing the Deza River on the boundary between the municipalities of Silleda and Lalín in the Province of Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain. A Latin inscription on a nearby rock records works on the bridge in the Hispanic Era 950 (corresponding to AD 912), although an archaeological assessment commissioned by the Xunta de Galicia concludes that the present structure was likely rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century. The bridge forms part of the route network of the Camino de Santiago, listed by Turismo de Galicia on both the Camino de Invierno and the Vía de la Plata. It is included in the Inventario de Puentes Históricos de Galicia (Historic Bridge Inventory of Galicia) under code P0-43.
