Ponte Filipina de Carenque de Baixo
The Ponte Filipina de Carenque de Baixo (also Ponte Velha , Ponte do Catita , Ponte do Lido ) is a road bridge in the municipality of Venteira in the Portuguese district town of Amadora .
It was built in 1631 by order of the Lisbon Senate as part of the old royal road between Lisbon and Sintra and leads over the Ribeira de Carenque . The construction was financed with the so-called Real do Povo , a levy on everyday products. There is a milestone on the bridge to commemorate this.

For many decades, the bridge formed an important transport link between Amadora and Queluz in the west . Since 2013, traffic has been directed downstream over a new bridge.
The bridge has been classified as Imóvel de Interest Municipal since 2002 .
