Iron bridge of El Capricho, Madrid, Iron pedestrian bridge in El Capricho Park, Madrid, Spain.
The iron footbridge spans a small stream in El Capricho Park, featuring two metal arcs connected by wooden steps and a platform.
Built in 1830 under the supervision of the Duchess of Osuna, this structure holds the distinction of being the first iron bridge constructed in Spain.
The bridge represents the beginning of Spain's industrial revolution, marking a shift from traditional construction materials to modern engineering methods.
Access to the bridge requires visiting El Capricho Park during specific hours: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9:00 to 18:30 in winter or 21:00 in summer.
The bridge predates Spain's second iron structure, the Triana Bridge in Seville, by twelve years, establishing a new era in Spanish construction technology.
