Puente de Hierro, Steel bridge in Talavera de la Reina, Spain.

The 426-meter Iron Bridge extends across the Tagus River with ten spans, each measuring 41 meters in length and reaching a height of 10 meters.

The bridge construction project, approved in 1897, materialized between 1905 and 1908, marking a significant advancement in regional infrastructure development.

This bridge transformed the daily routines of local residents, replacing the Old Bridge as the primary crossing point over the Tagus River in Talavera de la Reina.

The structure accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, connecting the two sides of Talavera de la Reina with its continuous tied-arch design.

The bridge underwent a complete color transformation in 1994, changing from its original bluish-gray paint scheme to a distinctive red finish.
