Puente Los Leones, Historical bridge in La Vega parish, Caracas, Venezuela
Los Leones Bridge connects El Paraíso with Avenida O'Higgins at G7 Avenida O'Higgins, extending north toward La Vega parish through Avenida La Paz.
The construction of Los Leones Bridge was completed in 1933, marking a significant advancement in the transportation infrastructure of early twentieth-century Caracas.
Four lion sculptures crafted from artificial stone by sculptor Angel Cabre i Magriña stand at the corners of the bridge in an Egyptian-style posture.
The bridge functions as a primary connection point between multiple neighborhoods, facilitating traffic flow across different sectors of northern Caracas.
Recent urban developments, including the Gran Misión Venezuela housing project and La Paz traffic distributor, have modified the visual presence of the bridge.
