Puente del Genil, Stone bridge in Granada, Spain

The Puente del Genil spans across the Genil River with five semicircular arches supported by sturdy pillars reinforced with cutwater structures.

Built during the 11th century under Zirid rule, the bridge became a protected cultural heritage site through an official designation in September 2007.

The bridge features decorative stone parapets adorned with lion sculptures holding shields at each end, reflecting regional architectural traditions.

The structure connects multiple areas of the Paseos y espacios ajardinados del Genil, providing pedestrian access to various gardens and public spaces.

The bridge construction uses stone slabs from La Malahá quarry, with sections of the original material still visible beneath concrete renovations.
