Puente Congosto over the Lozoya River

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge built with its pillars over the Lozoya River gorge itself, obtained its side walls shortly after the Civil War. Its origins are uncertain. They could be Roman, the pass being located on a transit route on the way to Segovia. However, the area in which it is located is mentioned in the hunting book of Alfonso XI, medieval king of Castile. What is certain is that the bridge had a repair in the 19th century. XIV.

Matafrailes Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Of the three medieval bridges in Canencia, this is the furthest from the town, near the municipality of Gargantilla de Lozoya. Crossing the waters of the Canencia stream, this bridge of medieval origin has a single pointed arch, with a deck that is wider at the ends than in the center. Thanks to the height of the two rocks that function as its foundations, the height of the pass protected it from possible floods.

It is a very old bridge, Romanesque, over the Arroyo de Canencia, very close to the Town. The place is a recreation area with tables and seats to rest and talk.
