[1] The bridge is a 17th-century construction that crosses the river Noguera Ribagorçana, linking the main center of Vilaller with the neighbourhood of Aragon located on the right bank of the river.

[2] The original bridge had three arches, but was damaged during the flood of 1963 and lost two of them.

For many years the river was crossed by means of a lever located roughly where the bridge is situated.

During the 16th century the village of Vilaller experienced a strong economic growth so that on August 15, 1686, the General Council of Vilaller petitioned to His Majesty Charles II of Spain the permission for building a stone three arched bridge where the lever had been until then.

[3] The bridge endured until the flood of August 2, 1963, when the river destroyed two of the three arches.
