Description

The Baptistery at Pont Adulam is located just above the weir on the River Lliedi. It features a railed platform that extends from the east face of the bridge, with steps leading down to the weir pool. Additionally, there is a later wall made of concrete that forms a smaller, reduced pool. The platform is equipped with steel railings supported by large decorative cast-iron standards.
