Before reaching Medellín, just over a kilometre from the village, and about 150 metres to the left of the Camino, there is a bridge from the Renaissance period over the Ortiga river, half-buried, mutilated on its north side, over the Ortiga river. It is located next to what was once a Roman villa and has only one span. Nowadays, the river flows on the north side of the bridge, due to a modern channelling of the river.
