Ajuda, Elvas municipality, Portalegre district, Portugal: Ajuda Bridge is a historic structure that spanned the Guadiana River, connecting the Portuguese town of Elvas with Olivença, a town historically claimed by both Portugal and Spain, controlled by the latter since 1801. Built in 1509 during the reign of King Manuel I of Portugal, the bridge was designed to facilitate trade and military movement, a significant strategic and economic link. However, during the War of Spanish Succession in 1709, the bridge was partially destroyed by Spanish forces to hinder Portuguese troop movements, leaving it in ruins. While it was never fully restored, the remains of the Ajuda Bridge still stand today, symbolizing both the historical conflict and the enduring cultural ties between Portugal and Spain. Though no longer functional as a crossing, the ruins are a significant monument and a reminder of the region's complex past.
