The Ponte da Ribeira de Cobres (Bridge of Ribeira dos Cobres) is a bridge in the civil parish, in the municipality of Almodôvar in the Portuguese district of Beja.

The bridge has been dated to between the 12th and 13th century, using shale rock.[1][2]

By 1758 it was the only bridge crossing the Ribeira dos Cobres.[1][2]

The bridge was greatly damaged following seasonal storms in 1970, and repaired in the proceeding months.[1][2]
