Pont de les Flors, Contemporary pedestrian bridge in Valencia, Spain
Pont de les Flors is a modern footbridge that crosses the former Turia riverbed, featuring approximately 27,000 flower pots along its railings. The structure creates a green passage linking two districts while its plantings rotate seasonally for visual variety.
Built in 2002, the bridge replaced a temporary pontoon crossing to handle Valencia's growing transportation demands. It formed part of the urban transformation that converted a former riverbed into a public park and green space network.
The bridge has become a popular spot where locals and visitors pause to photograph the seasonal floral displays and enjoy the natural elements within the city. It represents how the city blends everyday life with carefully planned green features.
Located near Plaza de America, the crossing connects the Citadel district to Paseo de la Alameda as a pleasant walking route. Plan your visit during daylight hours to fully see the flower displays and appreciate the garden views below.
The walkway displays rotating combinations of red, white, and pink geraniums throughout the year, maintained by local horticultural teams. This constantly changing floral arrangement ensures visitors may see something different with each visit.
