Puente de las Herrerías, Stone road bridge in Cazorla, Spain.

The Puente de las Herrerias spans the upper Guadalquivir River with a single limestone arch measuring 6.8 meters in width and 4.2 meters across.

Knights serving Queen Isabella I constructed this bridge in the 15th century during her campaign from Cordoba to conquer the city of Baza.

Local narratives tell that the knights deliberately shod their horses backward to mislead Moorish pursuers who were tracking Queen Isabella's movements.

The bridge stands at an elevation of 1010 meters and connects to the Sierra road A-319, providing access to numerous hiking trails in the region.

The structure features double-ring arch faces, wing abutments, and a prominent course of raised ashlar stones forming the bridge's cornice.
