More about Puente Nuevo
The Puente Nuevo was designed by architect José Martin de Aldehuela, who also worked on several other projects in the region. The bridge's construction took 34 years and had significant economic and logistical challenges due to the gorge's depth and the technical limitations of the period. Today, it can be accessed via local roads and is a notable site for historical and structural study.
