Puente de Ovando, Stone bridge in Analco district, Puebla, Mexico
The Puente de Ovando connects the Spanish settlements to downtown Puebla through a solid stone structure spanning across the urban landscape.
Built in 1775 to replace the deteriorated Analco Bridge, this crossing point received its name from Don Agustin de Ovando Villavicencio, a councilor residing nearby.
The bridge stands as a central element of Puebla's architectural legacy, reflecting the construction methods and materials preferred during the colonial period.
Located at coordinates 19°2'25.6"N and 98°11'35.2"W, the bridge remains a key transportation route connecting different sections of the city.
The structure represents one of the earliest examples of permanent stone bridge construction in Puebla, maintaining its original form for nearly 250 years.
