Puente de Piedra, Medieval stone bridge in Zaragoza, Spain
The Puente de Piedra extends 225 meters across the Ebro River with seven stone arches connecting the Arrabal district to the city center.
Construction of the current bridge started in 1401 and took 39 years to complete, replacing earlier wooden structures dating back to Roman times.
Four bronze lions guard the bridge entrances since 1991, representing the strength of Zaragoza and becoming a recognized symbol of the city.
The bridge provides pedestrians with direct access between the historic center and the Arrabal neighborhood while offering clear views of the Basilica del Pilar.
During the Napoleonic invasion of 1813, French troops destroyed one of the bridge arches to prevent pursuers, temporarily isolating the city.
