Spain The Alcantara Bridge (Roman Bridge at Night) is a stone bridge located in the town of Alcántara in Cáceres province, in the autonomous region of Extremadura in Spain. The bridge stands atop a small hill overlooking the Tagus River. It is a Roman bridge built in the 1st Century AD and is one of the most iconic attractions in Cáceres province. The bridge has endured the passage of time and has been well preserved due to continued maintenance by the municipality of Alcántara. Throughout its history, armies have used the bridge as a strategic defensive position, as fighting for its control was a continuous struggle throughout the Medieval Ages. During these wars, the bridge served as a means of communication between different territories, protected ancient routes, and acted as a physical link between different provinces. It continues to be an essential link between Cáceres province and the neighboring regions of Extremadura. When illuminated, the Alcántara Bridge has a unique atmosphere, especially at night, making it appear even more magical and majestic.
