C	Carla Azinhaga on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Adoro pontes romanas. Sempre que vejo uma placa, vou atrás... Pena que na maior parte das vezes não digam a distância nem digam se se pode ir de carro até à ponte em questão... I love Roman bridges. Whenever I see a sign, I go behind ... Too bad they do not tell the distance or say if you can drive to the bridge in question ...
F	Francisco Basto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Conhecida como ponte Romana do Candal ou ponte Portucalense sobre o Rio Coja, esta antiga ponte situa-se num caminho rural de uma área florestal a cerca de dez quilómetros de distância da sede de concelho, Aguiar da Beira. Pensa-se que seja uma ponte do período de ocupação romana do território, situada num dos ramais da via Romana que ligava Viseu a Mérida. A ponte de cantaria de Granito tem cerca de 25 metros de comprimento por 3,20 de largura, apresenta dois arcos de volta perfeita e um tabuleiro com três planos o central plano e os dois laterais ligeiramente rampeados. Known as the Roman bridge of Candal or Portucalense bridge over the River Coja, this old bridge is located on a rural path in a forest area about ten kilometers away from the county seat, Aguiar da Beira. It is thought to be a bridge from the period of Roman occupation of the territory, located in one of the branches of the Roman route that connected Viseu to Mérida. The Granite stonework bridge is about 25 meters long by 3.20 wide, with two round arches and a board with three planes, the central plan and the two slightly ramped sides.
R	Rui Garcia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice monument to the construction prowess of Romans. This bridge is still standing strong and it doesn't look like it will fall anytime soon. The road to reach it is dirt with several holes but still doable even with a very low car.
