Lagoncinha Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the Ave River in Lousado, Vila Nova de Famalicão, in Portugal. The bridge was classified as a National Monument in 1943.[1]
Characteristics
[edit | edit source]The bridge features six uneven arches with cutwaters.[2] It is possibly a reconstruction of a pre-existing Roman bridge,[2] with characteristics attributable to the Late Middle Ages and similarities to many other bridges built in Northern Portugal during the XIII century.[3]
The bridge was subject to studies performed by investigators from the University of Porto, at the behest of Direção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais.[4] It was found that the structure was in risk due to heavy traffic. In 2018, the bridge underwent major renovation works that cut traffic for five months.[5]
