Part of the historic Roman bridge in Talavera de la Reina, central Spain, collapsed early Sunday after heavy rains from Storm Martinho caused the Tagus River to flood.
The bridge, a symbol of the city’s history, was heavily damaged, leaving residents in shock. Flooding also forced hundreds to evacuate and cut off roads.
Emergency crews are assessing the damage, while authorities urge citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and follow safety updates.
