Ponte de Segura is a Roman bridge connecting Segura, in Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal, to the Spanish municipality of Alcántara. The bridge was built over the Erges river, a tributary of the Tagus. It has five arches; only two of the original Roman arches, the ones closer to both river banks, survive to this day,[1] with the rest being added during reconstructions in the XVI and XIX centuries.[2] The stonemason work done during the 1571 reconstruction of two of the arches is considered to be "barely distinguishable" from the original.[3]
