Puente de Hierro, Iron pedestrian bridge in El Capricho Park, Madrid, Spain.
The metallic structure features two iron arcs supporting a wooden platform that crosses over a small stream in El Capricho gardens.
Completed in 1830, this bridge marked the first iron construction of its type in Spain, preceding the Puente de Triana in Sevilla by twelve years.
The Duchess of Osuna commissioned this bridge as part of her vision for the El Capricho estate, integrating engineering with garden design.
Visitors can access the bridge during park hours on weekends and holidays, with Metro line 5 stopping at El Capricho station.
The bridge represents the starting point of iron construction in Spanish architecture, establishing new methods for structural engineering.
