One of the most representative monuments of the town hall occupies a prominent place in the municipal coat of arms. The medieval bridge of O Burgo, built in the Late Middle Ages, underwent various restorations, the most recent one carried out in 1992 by the students of the Workshop School ‘Ponte do Burgo’. Walking on it as Templar knights, British generals, pirates, and merchants did, is to remember the history of Culleredo, A Coruña, and Galicia.

Of the 11 semicircular arches with stone voussoirs that form the bridge, the two in the center and those on the A Barcala side belong to the original bridge. Remnants of the original pavement discovered during the restoration are preserved.

On a stone block on the Culleredo side, the coats of arms of the noble families Andrade and Moscoso are reproduced, whose originals from the late 14th century are preserved in the Church of Santiago de O Burgo . También encontraremos un relieve conmemorativo which refers to the construction or reconstruction of the bridge sponsored by Fernán Pérez de Andrade.

The bridge could tell us hundreds of interesting stories, of which it has been a witness and protagonist over the years, such as its destruction during the War of Independence in the 19th century. In January 1809, the British troops commanded by Sir John Moore, retreating to the islands to escape the French army, aimed to reach the city of A Coruña to board the returning ships. After crossing the O Burgo bridge, the closest passage to cross the estuary and reach the city, Moore ordered it to be blown up to gain time for the retreat. Despite this, the French troops commanded by Marshal Soult managed to advance and faced the English days later in the well-known Battle of Elviña, in which the British commander would be mortally wounded. Both contenders achieved their goal: the English embarked for the islands and the French took the city.
