Marvao Toll Brige
Portugal

This was the place that’s said to have had a toll bridge, to collect taxes for the entrance of the Jewish people expelled from Spain in 1492. According to historical documents, about 15.000 Jews were accounted for crossing this border. The crossing of such bridge, was managed from the XIV century tower and an amount was charged per family that entered Portugal. A tombstone was placed in this tower in memory of all those who crossed the bridge over the Sever River. This bridge, that can still be crossed nowadays, was part of a roman road as the, still standing, arches and foundations prove.
