{"type":"Feature","properties":{"id":1078,"name":"Old Bridge of Ponte de Lima","description":"
The “Ponte Velha” (Old Bridge) of Ponte de lima is the ex-libris of the town being actually in its name.
\nIt is actually composed of two bridges, a earlier roman bridge from I AD and a later, medieval one, from the 12th century.<\/p>\n
An old legend says that roman troops stationed in the town were afraid to cross the river fearing they would loose their memory. Their captain then crossed the river and called the soldiers by name to prove his memory was intact. This is represented by the statues you can find on each side of the river depicting the captain and their soldiers.
\nThe bridge is therefore perfectly safe to cross!<\/p>\n","modified":"2019-06-03T16:53:49","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"image":"http:\/\/vinitur.be.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Old-Bridge-of-Ponte-de-Lima-768x515.jpg","taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[363]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"en","source":"http:\/\/vinitur.be.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/1078","wp_edit":"http:\/\/vinitur.be.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1078&action=edit","web":"http:\/\/vinitur.be.webmapp.it\/poi\/old-bridge-of-ponte-de-lima\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":""},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.586565700612777,41.76916834188445]}}
