点评:The Ponte Antiga de Tavira or Old Bridge of Tavira is thought to have its origins dating back to Roman times when it served as part of the Roman road that connected Castro Marim to Faro, thus leading to its other name of Ponte Romana (or Roman Bridge)
This seven-arched bridge is now a pedestrian walkway, but it wasn’t always so and it played an essential role in connecting both halves of Tavira to road traffic until 1989, when it was closed off to cars after the construction of the more modern Ponte das Forcas Armadas nearby. And some of the best views of Ponte Antiga can be had from this more modern bridge just up the road.
If you are holidaying in Tavira then you will probably cross this bridge several times a day and it was always buzzing with locals and tourists alike crossing to and from the two halves of Tavira.
翻译:塔维拉古桥,又称塔维拉老桥,据信其历史可追溯到罗马时代。当时它是连接卡斯特罗马里姆与法鲁的罗马道路的一部分,因此它也被称为“罗马桥”。
这座拥有七个拱门的桥梁如今是一条人行通道,但过去并非如此。直到1989年,它一直在促进塔维拉南北两部分的公路交通方面发挥着重要作用。在附近修建了更为现代化的“武装部队桥”之后,这座桥便不再对汽车开放了。从不远处的那座现代桥梁上,可以欣赏到“古桥”的最佳景致。
如果你正在塔维拉度假,那么你很可能一天要多次穿过这座桥;一直以来,这里都挤满了前来往返于塔维拉两岸的当地人和游客。
