The Pont de Sant Antoni de la Grella is a Romanesque arch bridge within the municipality of La Massana in the Principality of Andorra .
The Romanesque bridge from the Middle Ages is a simple construction with a segment arch and wedge stones . The bridge is around 21 meters long and has a maximum height of 5.55 meters above the normal level of the Valira River . Before the Carretera general 3 road was built in the 1940s, it connected Andorra la Vella with La Massana. The bridge is near the church of Sant Antoni de la Grella .
The building is protected as Monument Nº 61 on the basis of the Andorra Cultural Heritage Act of June 12, 2003. A structurally identical, larger arched bridge from the 14th century is the Pont de la Margineda , which is also located in La Massana.
