Puente de las Herrerías, Stone road bridge in Cazorla, Spain.
Puente de las Herrerías is a stone road bridge crossing the upper Guadalquivir River in Cazorla and connecting mountain passes through the protected natural area. The structure features a single arched span with double-ring vault faces and carefully dressed ashlar stones that give it a solid, enduring appearance.
Knights serving Isabella I constructed this bridge during the 15th century as part of her military campaigns through the region. The structure emerged from the need to maintain supply routes across difficult mountain terrain during the period's territorial conflicts.
Local narratives tell that the knights deliberately shod their horses backward to mislead Moorish pursuers who were tracking Queen Isabella's movements.
The bridge sits at high elevation on the mountain road A-319, which branches out to numerous hiking trails in the surrounding forest. The location is accessible year-round, though snow and ice can occasionally block the passes during winter months.
The structure features double-ring arch faces, wing abutments, and a prominent course of raised ashlar stones forming the bridge's cornice.
