The “Ponte da Pica” is mentioned traditionally as a bridge from the roman times, which will be explained by the association of its location to the roman road which still existed today in toponymy, despite of being in the meantime paved.
However, Nogueira Gonçalves believes that its typology, a central arch slightly surbased and flanked by two semi-circular arches are connected with the Middle Ages.
The bridge underwent several works, the last of which in 1990, that consisted of the dredging of the banks and replacement of the missing elements of masonry as well as the pavement .
Regarding to the tradition and some photographic documentation, before the road paving, we can take in consideration that it is a very old road that is necessary to preserve.
