Puente de Piedra, Stone bridge in Lima District, Peru.
The Puente de Piedra extends across the Rimac River, connecting Lima's historic center with the northern district through six solid stone arches.
Built in 1608 by architect Juan del Corral, this bridge remained the only crossing point between Lima's districts until 1861.
The structure received recognition as a cultural heritage site of Peru and gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1988.
The bridge functions as a primary transportation route, accommodating both vehicle traffic and pedestrian access between Lima's central districts.
Local builders incorporated egg whites into the bridge's mortar mixture during construction, leading to its alternative name, the Egg Bridge.
