Abstract

In the current article, the author shares with us about the beautiful work of the bridge of Titihuapa of the Canton Llano de la Hacienda (San Isidro Cabañas). In addition, it describes its elegance, cleanliness, and durability of its construction, which, despite the severe weather conditions and, institutional neglect, still stands. It should be distinguished that the work is presented as “a link with the classical Roman world”, a historical association with other constructions that follow basic principles of Roman architecture and that can easily be found in the Iberian Peninsula and other countries such as France and Italy. Such it is a very bold statement, however, the fact that there is no documentation about it, invites us to be acquainted with the subject and to theorize about it.
