Ebro Bridge of Tudela

The Ebro Bridge in Tudela is a Spanish medieval stone bridge, 360 m long, composed of 16 pillars and 17 arches, all uneven. Its importance is inherent to the city, whose history revolves around the passage of the Ebro River.

Although tradition assigns King Sancho VII the Strong as the promoter of this magnificent work, it is not known if it is a reconstruction of an earlier Muslim one, perhaps from the time of the fortification of the Tudela medina by Amrùs ben Yusuf. Many authors have suggested, however, that Tudela had a Roman one. There is nothing to indicate that the three bridges were in the same place, nor that the earlier bridges were built of stone. It should also be considered that in the Muslim and Roman periods, the Ebro was narrower and had a lower water level, since following the construction downstream of a dam during the time of the Teobaldos, the water level increased and consequently became wider.
