Puente de la Princesa, Madrid, Road bridge in Almendrales, Madrid, Spain.

The Puente de la Princesa spans across the Manzanares River, connecting the districts of Arganzuela and Usera through its concrete platform structure.

The original iron bridge from 1909 was replaced in 1929 with a concrete structure featuring three parabolic arches, engineered by Alberto Laffón y Soto.

The bridge represents the evolution of Madrid's infrastructure, marking the location of the historical Santa Catalina ford that preceded modern construction.

The bridge serves as a primary transportation route between districts, accessible through multiple public transit options at Plaza de Legazpi.

In 2006, during the Madrid Río project, the bridge underwent complete reconstruction, transforming from a three-arch design to a modern concrete platform.
