Puente Ariza, Renaissance bridge in Úbeda, Spain.

The stone bridge spans 100 meters across the Guadalimar River with five barrel vaults and a central arch exceeding 31 meters in width.

Architect Andrés de Vandelvira designed this bridge between 1562 and 1563, funded by Diego de los Cobos y Molina, Bishop of Jaén.

The structure served as a crossing point for religious figure San Juan de la Cruz during his travels to Úbeda for medical treatment.

Since 1998, the bridge remains submerged under the Giribaile Reservoir waters, becoming visible only during drought periods.

The bridge features double-ring openings and combines semicircular downstream breakwaters with triangular upstream configurations.
