Salamanca Puente Romano — Roman Bridge Board

Souvenir cutting board featuring Salamanca’s Puente Romano — a Roman bridge spanning the Tormes River that has stood for nearly 2,000 years. Built in the 1st century AD as part of the Via de la Plata (Silver Way) trade route, the bridge’s 15 surviving original arches on the near side are among the oldest Roman structures in Spain. The view from the bridge toward the city — with the twin cathedrals and university towers rising in golden sandstone above the river — is one of Salamanca’s most iconic images and has been painted by artists for centuries.
