Dated in the 11th century, with constant restorations over the centuries, the Romanesque bridge of Besalú constitutes real reception to the city with ample parking space at its beginning, a reception centre and the possibility of walking inside a nucleus which amazingly still retains its main medieval features.
In order to pass the bridge it was necessary to pay the price of passage or toll to the other side of the tower marking the angle of the bridge and controlling the entry to the city.
The bridge has seven spans forming an angle according to the support possibilities by the large river stones.
