Discover more about Pont d'Engordany

The Pont d'Engordany is more than just a bridge; it's a journey through Andorran history and culture. This elegant, single-arch bridge spans the Valira d'Orient River, connecting the towns of Les Escaldes and Engordany. Originally constructed in 1772 from pumice stone, the bridge featured a semi-circular arch, a flat cobbled causeway, and a simple parapet. Its unique asymmetrical ends, a result of the uneven terrain, added to its charm. Tragically, a major flood in 1785 destroyed the original structure. However, it was rebuilt that same year, maintaining its vital role in connecting the towns. Today, the Pont d'Engordany is recognized as a Site of Cultural Interest, inviting visitors to step back in time and appreciate its medieval artistry. The bridge seamlessly blends with the breathtaking mountainous landscape, offering stunning views of lush valleys and towering peaks. The gentle murmur of the river below adds to the serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for reflection and photography. Located on Plaça Santa Anna, the bridge is easily accessible and serves as a key point on the Ruta d'Engordany, a historical path that weaves together the stories of Les Escaldes and Engordany.
