Puente Salomón, Railway bridge near Niebla, Spain

The metal bridge stretches across the Rio Tinto river, featuring steel trusses supported by two masonry pillars spanning 68 meters in length.

British engineers constructed the bridge in 1888 to replace an earlier structure from 1875, enabling mineral transportation from Rio Tinto mines to Huelva port.

The bridge represents the industrial heritage of Huelva province, connecting to ancient mining traditions that date back to Phoenician settlements in the region.

Located at coordinates 37.51189, -6.574636, the structure leads to the 140-meter Solomon Tunnel, forming part of the abandoned railway infrastructure.

The bridge stands above waters that display red coloration due to high iron content, creating a metallic landscape around the structure.
