Alcántara. Puente Romano

At its center on the roadway there is a one gate Triumphal Arch that has been restored many times. It is 13,15 m. high with a rectangular plan of 11,5 m. x 2,60 m. It is supported by the central pillar of the construction. On it there are two marble plates: on one there is an inscription with the date of construction and its devotion to Trajanus Emperor:
"To Caesar Imperator, son of divine Nerva, Nerva Traianus Germanicus Datius, Maximus Pontifex, Tribunitia Potestas for the 8th time, Imperium for the 5th time, Pater of the Patria".

Super POV and great light, and I like the leading lines as well as the framing. V.
