Puentecillas, Stone bridge in Palencia, Spain.

The Puentecillas bridge extends over the Carrión River with seven semicircular arches and features prismatic cutouts between the stone structures.

The bridge dates back to Roman times in the 1st century BC and underwent substantial modifications during the 15th century to adapt to changing transportation needs.

The bridge serves as a connecting point between the historic quarter of Palencia and the Allende el Río neighborhood, hosting regular markets and local celebrations.

Visitors can reach the bridge through multiple pedestrian paths along the Carrión River, with convenient parking available at the nearby Dársena del Canal.

The bridge includes distinctive semi-cylindrical pillars and cutwaters that reflect the engineering methods used during the Roman period in the Iberian Peninsula.
