The Old Bridge
The “Old Bridge”, over the Muga river, near the neighborhood of Sant Marc was originally called the Pont Major or Pont Nou (Principal Bridge or New Bridge) as another older bridge had previously stood in its place. This medieval bridge with seven irregular spans was probably built in the 14th century during the era of count Pere I. It has been repaired a number of times over the centuries as a result of damage from wars and flooding.
