Between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries a bridge was built to allow a crossing to PerarrĂșa over the Ésera river. Until the 19th century, the three-span bridge featured a wooden gate in the central part, where the 'peaje' (toll) was likely collected.

Did you know...? The houses near the bridge are called ''Barrio Puente'', translated as: ''the neighbourhood of the bridge''.
