Legend has it that during a flood in the early 20th century, a cart carrying its entire load of wheat was swept away, and the next day it reappeared intact beneath the central arch of the bridge, as if the river had kept it to return it. The locals considered it a miracle and for years left dried ears of wheat among the stones as an offering. Even today, in summer, when the water level drops, some of those ears can still be seen trapped in the cracks of the old wall.
