The municipality is limited to the northeast by the municipalities of Gavião and Crato, to the east by Alter do Chão, to the southeast by Avis, to the south by Mora, to the southwest by Coruche and to the northwest by Chamusca and Abrantes.
There are references to these lands, dating from the end of the 3rd century, in the reign of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus, as part of the Roman military route between Olissipo (Lisbon) and Mérida.
In the Middle Ages, the bridge over the Sor stream collapsed, bringing isolation to the village. In the reign of D. Sancho I, in 1199, the Cathedral of Évora granted the first charter to the town. During the reign of D. Duarte, at the time of an outbreak of plague in Lisbon, the Court took refuge in this municipality.
In August 1514, it was granted a new charter by D. Manuel I.
The origin of the city's name is due to the existence of the Roman bridge over the Sor stream, which is the ex-libris of the municipality.
Of the main historical monuments, the 19th century bridge over the Sor stream stands out; the Mother Church, from the 17th century, rebuilt after a fire and featuring a beautiful wrought iron altar in the sacristy window; the Chapel of the Lord of Souls; the old Town Hall building, built in 1886; and the former Cereal Milling and Rice Peeling Factory, today a modern cultural center where the Municipal Library, the Municipal Historical Archive and the Arts and Culture Center are located - an art exhibition center.
