Puente del Cadí, Medieval bridge ruins in Granada, Spain.

The Puente del Cadí consists of a hexagonal tower structure on the bank of the Darro River, with remnants of a horseshoe arch design.

Built in 1055 by architect Ali Ben Mohamed Ben Tauba, this stone bridge served as a strategic connection point over the Darro River.

The bridge incorporates alternating indented and protruding voussoirs in its vault, displaying traditional Andalusian architectural techniques from the medieval period.

The structure measures 2.5 meters in width and reaches a height of 10.8 meters, featuring internal spiral staircases within its remaining tower.

The bridge functioned as both a crossing point and a water gate, controlling river flow through a system of metal grilles.
