Campomanes

Located at the confluence of the Huerna and Pajares rivers, where the Lena River rises, Campomanes is an Asturian town that has witnessed the passage of pilgrims, merchants, and travelers throughout the centuries. This strategic enclave was part of the ancient trade route between the port of Avilés and the Meseta, and its historical importance is reflected in the monuments it still preserves:  Popularly known as the "Roman bridge," the Ponte Briendes is actually a medieval construction that spans the Huerna River. This bridge was part of the ancient Camino Real and the Camino de San Salvador pilgrimage route. Its stone structure and strategic location make it a testament to the region's commercial and pilgrim past.  Next to the bridge stands the Revillagigedo Palace, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. This palace complex stands out for its three-story side tower and its central section with a wrought-iron doorway and balcony. Although it has undergone renovations and lost one of its original towers, the palace remains a symbol of Campomanes' aristocratic legacy.  The Chapel of the Holy Christ, built in the 18th century, is linked to the former pilgrims' hospital that operated until the 19th century. Its Baroque architecture and history linked to the Camino de Santiago make it a place of both religious and cultural interest.  These three monuments—the bridge, the palace, and the chapel—form a historic complex that reflects Campomanes' rich heritage. Their preservation and enhancement are essential to keeping alive the memory of this crossroads in the heart of Asturias.
