Puente Ortiz, National monument bridge in central Cali, Colombia.
The Ortiz Bridge spans across the Cali River, connecting the eastern and western sections of the city with its steel and masonry construction.
Franciscan friar José Ignacio Ortiz designed this infrastructure during the early twentieth century as the first bridge to cross the Cali River.
The bridge contributes to local celebrations throughout the year, serving as a central point for festivals, parades, and community gatherings in Cali.
Located at the heart of Cali, the bridge provides essential passage for both pedestrians and vehicles while offering views of the river below.
Despite being an amateur engineer, Friar Ortiz created a structure that has maintained its functionality and status as a national monument through generations.
