Tips from the Community
Although legend has it that this bridge was built by the devil, tricked by an old woman from the village he had to cross daily, it is actually of Roman origin and was part of the Via Augusta. It was designed for ox-drawn carts to pass. It still retains the abutments built in large ashlar blocks bearing inscriptions from the legions that worked on it. A flood swept away the central pillar, and it was rebuilt in 1143 with a single Gothic-style arch. However, the current bridge is a reconstruction from the 1960s. Until the 14th century, it was the only viaduct crossing the lower Llobregat.

Take the N-II from Sant Andres de la Barca, take the first roundabout in Martorell, and then the first exit. You'll pass through the city center along Anoia and then join the C-243b toward Gelida.

The steep slope below the motorway viaduct at the exit of Martorell can be avoided. There is a gentler climb to the left.
