Puente de Piedra, Stone arch bridge in Logroño, Spain.
The Puente de Piedra is a stone arch bridge crossing the Ebro River in Logroño, featuring seven arches supported by cylindrical pillars made from light gray sandstone. The structure spans roughly 200 meters and creates a solid connection across the river with its substantial stone construction.
Construction of this bridge was completed in 1884 under the direction of architect Fermín Manso de Zúñiga, replacing an earlier structure that had collapsed in 1871. The new design incorporated stones from the fallen bridge alongside materials obtained from local quarries.
The bridge forms a key landmark in Logroño's identity and serves as a gateway for pilgrims entering on the Way of Saint James. Locals and travelers alike recognize it as an integral part of how the city presents itself to the world.
The bridge is easy to cross on foot from either direction, with clear walkways along both sides. Night lighting has been added to make the structure visible and accessible during evening hours.
One of the bridge's arches is noticeably larger than the others, measuring roughly 30 meters at its widest point. This design choice was made to best accommodate the main current of the river.
