Alcantara Bridge, Toledo, Spain
TOLEDO, SPAIN - APRIL 13 : A view along the Alcantara Bridge, on April 13, 2006 in Toledo, Spain. The bridge was originally built in 866 AD, near the ruins of a Roman bridge. In 1257 it was washed away, except for the piers and abutments, and then reconstructed by Alfonso X. It was restored in the 15th and 16th centuries. The gate, one of the oldest in the city, was restored in the 1980s. Toledo, a former capital of Spain, and cultural centre where Jews, Muslims and Christians co-existed. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
