Historic bridge over the Órbigo river that connects the provinces of León and Zamora. It is part of the original layout of the Roman road, which today is the Vía de la Plata, and has been rebuilt several times over the centuries. Specifically in the War of Independence, the English destroyed the bridge to contain Napoleon's passage from Zamora. Its current form dates from the 20th century, so it has served pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago for hundreds of years.

Viaduct that crosses the Órbigo river in the uninhabited town of La Vizana, south of Alija del Infantado. Emblematic routes such as the Vía de la Plata and the Camino de Santiago pass through this bridge.
It dates back to Roman times in its origins, although it was rebuilt due to the War of Independence.

Here we cycle over the former Roman bridge into the province of León. Throughout history, the bridge had to be rebuilt again and again. During the War of Independence from 1808 to 1814, English troops blew up the bridge over the Rio Orbigo to block the approaching Napoleon's army from Benavente. It was renovated in 1917 as it is today.
