The bridge was constructed sometime between the 17th and 18th century.[1]
In 1992, there was a proposal from the Plano Diretor Municipal of Vale de Cambra to classify the structure of local heritage.[1] By 14 September 2006, a dispatch from the IPPAR (forerunner of IGESPAR) closed the process to classify the structure.[1]
Architecture
Situated in a rural location and isolated, serving an old road between Paço de Mato and Viadal that crosses the Rio Caima.[1] It is located along the steep, cliffs, covered by vegetation and a riverbank dug by kettles.[1] Near the southern margin, but father upstream are the ruins of an old mill constructed in masonry, with ceiling in slate.[1] The road access that descends from Paço de Mato to the bank still retains many segments constructed of cobbled pavement.[1]
Fontinha is a bridge over a simple arch, supported by footings sunk into the banks of the river, with larger staves then length constructed from granite and joined by mortar.[1]
