Description

The Roman Bridge on Carrer del Pont Romà is a historic stone structure on the edge of Pollença, serving as a point of interest and a starting point for walks into town.

A structure with uncertain origins

The name promises Roman antiquity, yet historians remain divided: some sources date the structure to the Roman period, whilst others point to a medieval or even later origin. What is beyond dispute is the condition of this narrow stone bridge — it stands firm in place, is well preserved, and can still be crossed on foot today. In summer the riverbed beneath it runs dry; water flows through it after rainfall.

What to expect

The bridge is a modest, understated structure that presents itself to visitors rather quietly. Those with an appreciation for history and an eye for ancient stonework will find genuine charm in it. As a standalone destination it offers little on its own — but as part of a stroll through Pollença it fits in beautifully. The surroundings are peaceful and it also makes a fine starting point for walks and hikes.

Location & getting there

The bridge sits on Carrer del Pont Romà, 07460 Pollença, on the outskirts of the town. A large car park is located right alongside it, with both free and paid spaces available. From there, Pollença's old town is easily reachable on foot.
