Puente de Palmas, Badajoz, Granite arch bridge in Badajoz, Spain
The 585-meter stone bridge stretches across the Guadiana River with 32 arches, connecting San Fernando and Santa Isabel districts to central Badajoz.
Originally constructed in the 16th century, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions due to river floods, notably in 1545, 1603, 1828, and 1876.
The bridge serves as a symbol of Spanish engineering heritage, featuring the Puerta de Palmas gate with Emperor Charles V's coat of arms.
The structure functions as the main pedestrian crossing point between Carolina Coronado Avenue and the old town district of Badajoz.
Historical markers on the bridge's first arch indicate water levels from severe floods in 1758 and 1828 when the entire structure submerged.
