Pont de la Mar, Renaissance stone bridge in Valencia, Spain

The Puente del Mar spans 160 meters across the former Turia riverbed with ten lowered ogival arches measuring 15.50 meters each in width.

Built between 1592 and 1596 by Francisco Figuerola, this stone bridge replaced a wooden structure destroyed during the 1589 Turia River flood.

Two ornate pavilions on the bridge house religious sculptures: the Virgin of the Forsaken and San Pascual Bailon, created by different artists through centuries.

The bridge serves as a pedestrian connection between Plaza America and Paseo de la Alameda, following modifications made in 1933.

The structure received its name due to its position as the main route connecting Valencia city center with its maritime port.
