Built between 103 and 104 AD under Emperor Trajan, the bridge was the work of Gaius Julius Lacer and has been spanning the Tagus for almost two thousand years. The man promised it would last \u201cforever\u201d. So far, it\u2019s living up to that promise. \u27b8TOP: stop in the middle of the bridge.
