Casal da Quebrada - Bom Amor

data access 86697

Roman road, about 80m long, running southwest - northeast, on the outskirts of the city of Torres Novas.

It has an average width of 5.5m and, due to its location, it could form part of an imperial route or at least an important branch linking the main roads Bracara - Sellium - Scallabis - Emerita.

On a current rural path, south of Qt.ª da Torre de St.º António, it is possible to see a sidewalk, with all the characteristics of Roman roads, with an extension of about 500m.

Its route crosses Rib.ª do Arripiado, under a bridge that must have reminiscences of the same period.

Up to the limit of the municipality with Tomar, it is possible to advance with some hypotheses of its route, even identifying some sections of sidewalk, in other places, which may correspond to the same road.
