Puente de San Lázaro, Medieval arch bridge in Plasencia, Spain.
The Puente de San Lázaro spans across the Jerte River with seven arches constructed from masonry and slate, reaching a width of 3.5 meters.
The current structure dates from 1538, replacing an earlier medieval bridge that was destroyed by flooding, with construction delayed due to funding issues.
The bridge received its name from a nearby hospital for leprosy patients established between the 13th and 15th centuries.
Vehicle traffic is limited to cars under 5 meters in length, with access restricted to one-way exit from the San Lázaro neighborhood.
The structure maintains its original double slope design and ancient pillars, featuring seven semi-circular spans with the central arch being the largest.
