Devil's Bridge of Martorell

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Devil's Bridge of Martorell

Highlight • Bridge

The original bridge dates back to 10 BC, and was part of the Roman Via Augusta. It was rebuilt in the 13th century, with its characteristic Gothic arch. It underwent new reforms in the 18th century and was destroyed in 1939 during the Spanish civil war, being rebuilt in its current form in 1963.

Its name comes from the legend that tells that the devil offered an old woman to build the bridge in exchange for the soul of the first person to cross it. The old woman, who had asked the devil to build the bridge so that she could cross the river safely, hid a black cat in her bag, which she released before crossing the bridge so that the devil could claim her soul.
