Puente del Perdón, Stone bridge in Rascafría, Spain.
The bridge spans across the Lozoya River with three rounded arches and stone benches built upon the supporting pillars.
Constructed in the mid-18th century to replace an earlier wooden structure from 1302 that connected the monastery of Santa María de El Paular.
The bridge earned its name as prisoners received their final judgment here, with pardoned ones going free while others faced execution.
The bridge serves as a starting point for hiking trails and provides access to the Peñalara Natural Park management center.
Paper from the adjacent mill, accessed via this bridge, was used to print the first edition of Don Quixote in 1605.
