Puente de España, Stone bridge across Pasig River in Binondo, Philippines.
The bridge contains ten spans connecting the areas of Binondo and Ermita districts with central Manila through Calle Nueva.
Established in 1630 under Spanish colonial rule, the structure started construction in 1626 during Governor-General Fernándo de Silva's administration.
The bridge connects the commercial district of Binondo with Intramuros, representing the intersection of Spanish colonial influence and Filipino trade traditions.
The structure underwent modifications in 1814, replacing wooden components with stone arches and reinforcing the supporting piers for increased durability.
Engineer Antonio Herrera diverted half of the Pasig River into existing canals to construct the piers using local volcanic tuff material.
