Puente del Ebro de Tudela, Medieval stone bridge in Tudela, Spain.
The Puente del Ebro de Tudela is a stone bridge that spans roughly 360 meters across the river, supported by 16 stone pillars with angular reinforcements at their bases. The 17 uneven arches reveal that the structure comes from different construction periods.
The structure was built during the 12th and 13th centuries and blends influences from Islamic and Christian building traditions in its design. These mixed styles reflect the area's complex past during the Middle Ages.
The bridge displays different building styles from various periods, with pointed Gothic arches standing beside rounded forms from later repair work. Walking across, you can see how the structure was adapted multiple times over the centuries.
The bridge is easy to reach and runs through the city center with good connections to surrounding areas. Crossing is straightforward, and you get views of the river and city from various points along the way.
Three defensive towers once stood on the bridge and testified to its strategic importance during medieval conflicts between kingdoms. Today only the foundations remain visible, but they remind us of when this was more than just a crossing point.
