Puente Mayor, Valladolid

The Puente Mayor stretches across the Pisuerga River with four rounded arches constructed from traditional stone materials that form its main structure.

The bridge construction began in the 16th century to establish a permanent crossing point over the Pisuerga River for trade and transportation purposes.

The bridge represents a meeting point for local residents during traditional celebrations and serves as a reference point in Valladolid's urban landscape.

Visitors can access the bridge through pedestrian pathways on both sides, offering convenient connections between different sections of Valladolid.

The central arch of the bridge features large angular cutwaters positioned against the water flow, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques of its time.
