Bridges, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Bridges

El pont Vell és una obra d'enginyeria d'època medieval (segle XIII) situada al municipi de Castelló d'Empúries (Alt Empordà) que permet el pas sobre el curs de la Muga entre Castelló d'Empúries i el camí a les Vernedes, el cortal Mare de la Font, Fortià i Figueres.

Els ponts, a l'edat mitjana eren elements molt valorats pels senyors feudals, ja que s'hi cobrava el dret de pontatge. A Castelló d'Empúries hi havia molta activitat comercial i el pont Vell es va construir per crear noves vies de comunicació i millorar l'economia i el comerç de la vila.

Actualment es troba protegit com a bé cultural d'interès local per part de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
