Pont Palanques Vermelles

The red cast-iron bridge spans across the Onyar River, connecting Santa Clara Street to Rambla de la Libertad in central Girona.

The construction of this bridge was completed in 1877 at a cost of 22,500 pesetas by the same company that later built the Eiffel Tower.

The bridge holds designation as a Cultural Asset of Catalonia, representing the industrial architecture movement of the nineteenth century.

The structure provides pedestrians with direct access between the historical center and modern districts while offering views of riverside buildings.

The bridge features distinct engineering elements from the company of Gustave Eiffel, predating his famous tower in Paris by several years.
