San Pablo Bridge, Metal bridge in Cuenca, Spain
The San Pablo Bridge spans 100 meters across the Huécar River gorge with an iron structure supported by stone pillars at a height of 60 meters.
After the original stone bridge from 1589 deteriorated, engineer José María Fuster designed the current iron structure, which opened on April 19, 1903.
The bridge connects the historic district of Cuenca with the former Dominican monastery, now serving as the Parador Nacional hotel and museum complex.
Visitors can cross this pedestrian bridge to access both sides of the gorge while photographing the medieval hanging houses and natural limestone cliffs.
The metal framework of the bridge incorporates original 16th-century stone pillars from its predecessor into its modern engineering design.
