Medieval Bridge, Castro Urdiales

The often misnamed "Roman bridge" by the whole world, is also located in the port, in front of the Rock of Santa Ana.

However, the construction of this bridge is located in the Middle Ages, although due to a storm the upper part had to be rebuilt some years ago.

It is built in stone in the shape of an ogival arch and was part of a set of bridges and footbridge that joined the promontory where the castle-lighthouse is located with the hermitage of Santa Ana isolated from the earth since the rock was surrounded by the sea until the construction of the current port.

The bridge and the footbridge sisters of this, were demolished in the early twentieth century to facilitate the installation of the machinery responsible for building the breakwater.

At the foot of the bridge, the presence of a sea inlet confined in a large construction as a quadrangular stone pool that fills and empties according to the level of the tide is surprising.

Roman bridge of Cordoba, Spain

The Roman Bridge of Cordoba traverses the Guadalquivir River and is a landmark of the city's history. The bridge, built in the first century BCE during the expansion of the Roman Empire, has been rebuilt throughout the years, with most of the current bridge reconstructed by Arabs in the eighth century. While it has seen centuries of traffic, it is now only open to pedestrians. If it looks familiar, you might have spotted it in season five of 'Game of Thrones,' where it stood in as part of the fictional city of Volantis.

2,000-Year-Old Roman Mausoleum Unearthed Near London Bridge

No burial artifacts were recovered from the structure itself, but the surrounding area yielded over 80 Roman burials containing copper bracelets, coins, glass beads and a bone comb.

A "completely unique," 2,000-year-old Roman mausoleum that has emerged from the rubble of a development site in central London is the most intact ever discovered in the U.K.

The monumental tomb — of which low walls, entrance steps and interior flooring remain — is bejeweled with two mosaics composed of small red tiles, each featuring a flower enclosed in concentric circles. More than 100 coins were also strewn across the tomb's floor.

Archeologists only found the second mosaic when they dug beneath the first one. This indicates the mausoleum floor was raised at least once while it was still being used for burials, they said.

The discovery, which is nestled within the city's central Southwark area, "provides a fascinating window into the living conditions and lifestyle in this part of the city in the Roman period," Antonietta Lerz, a senior archeologist at The Museum of London Archeology (MOLA), said in a statement.

Roman invaders under Emperor Claudius founded London, or Londinium, around 47 A.D. and ruled the city through to the early fifth century, when dwindling military resources and incursions across the rest of the empire forced their withdrawal from Britain.

The recent excavation bears the marks of this decline. "This relatively small site in Southwark is a microcosm for the changing fortunes of Roman London — from the early phase of the site where London expands and the area has lavishly decorated Roman buildings, all the way through to the later Roman period when the settlement shrinks and it becomes a more quiet space where people remember their dead," Lerz said.

The mausoleum would have originally housed coffins and other burial artifacts, according to the statement, but none were recovered from the structure itself. However, the excavation site around the monument yielded Roman-era items belonging to more than 80 burials, including copper bracelets, glass beads, pottery and a bone comb.

Archeologists will now examine these recovered items to better understand central London's Roman past.

Only the wealthier members of society would have had access to the mausoleum, which may have been used as a family tomb or belonged to a "burial club," requiring a monthly fee to secure a future grave, according to the statement.

What remains of the structure indicates that it was a two-story building with large buttresses in the corners for support. The high walls were probably dismantled for reuse elsewhere during the medieval period. Inside, a raised platform cemented with pink mortar containing crushed bits of pottery and brick — a widely used Roman building material known as "opus signinum" — designates where the burials would have taken place around three sides of the mausoleum.

The discovery follows that of a 26 foot (eight meter) long Roman mosaic — the largest unearthed in London for more than 50 years — in February 2022. The newly excavated mausoleum will be put on public display once construction has concluded, according to the statement.
