Peirón del Puente de Piedra, small monument in Zaragoza
Peirón del Puente de Piedra is a pier jutting from the Ebro River beneath the Stone Bridge in Zaragoza. This structure helps distribute water pressure during flooding and supports the overall bridge construction.
The pier was built as part of the Stone Bridge construction, with origins tracing back to medieval times. The structure has been reinforced and renewed several times to withstand the river's demands.
The pier is visible from the Stone Bridge and offers an interesting look at the historic construction. The best viewing point is from the middle of the bridge when light is favorable.
