The so-called Roman Bridge of Alcalá del Júcar, despite its popular name, is not of Roman origin. Its current construction dates back to 1771, although it is known that there was an earlier bridge, possibly of medieval or even Roman origin, which was destroyed by floods or the passage of time.

It's worth staying overnight, especially at dusk, and visiting the river island is a beautiful, tranquil spot!

It is one of the most spectacular and picturesque villages in the province of Albacete; its location and the exceptional landscape formed by the Júcar gorge make us feel the need to stop as soon as it appears before our eyes to be able to contemplate it in all its grandeur. Its houses of popular architecture, dug into the mountain, adapt to the terrain in narrow and steep streets, climbing towards the Castle that looks out over the gorge formed by the river at its feet.
