It was built in the 3rd century. The Roman roads that linked Emerita Augusta (Mérida) with Caesar Augusta (Zaragoza) crossed here, as well as those that continued to the east and south passing through Consaburum (Consuegra). The Alcántara Bridge has undergone numerous reconstructions because for centuries it was the main access to the city of Toledo, and, in addition to the movement of people and goods, we must add the damage caused by successive wars, conquests and reconquests. In the 10th century it had to be restored by the Arabs, although from that time only the spur on the side facing the Castle of San Servando remains. Due to a great flood that partially destroyed it, King Alfonso The great tower that overlooks the city belongs to this period. The Catholic Monarchs would also order this tower to be renovated, turning it into a kind of military fortress. The fortified door decorated with the image of San Ildefonso, the patron saint of the city of Toledo, and the shield of the Catholic Monarchs, is precisely one of the most impressive elements of this Bridge.
