Puente de Itero, Medieval bridge in Melgar de Yuso, Spain

The Puente de Itero spans across the river Pisuerga with seven ashlar arches connecting the provinces of Palencia and Burgos in northern Spain.

King Alfonso VI ordered the construction of this bridge in the 12th century near a hospital dedicated to San Juan to facilitate regional trade.

The bridge forms an essential part of the pilgrimage route, connecting Itero del Castillo with Itero de la Vega in the Tierra de Campos region.

The structure serves both as an access road and bicycle bridge, providing a crossing point for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians throughout the year.

Near the bridge stands the hermitage of San Nicolas, displaying a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements from medieval times.
