San Martín bridge, Medieval arch bridge in Toledo, Spain.

The San Martín Bridge stretches across the Tagus River with five stone arches, including a central span measuring 40 meters in length.

Archbishop Pedro Tenorio commissioned the construction of this bridge during the late 14th century to establish a western access point to Toledo.

The bridge fortifications include defensive towers from different periods, with the eastern tower dating to the 13th century and the western tower from the 16th century.

Pedestrians can cross the bridge to reach the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes and connect with the western districts of Toledo.

According to local records, the architect's wife set fire to the original bridge construction to prevent its collapse due to mathematical errors.
