Review:
The Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) is an 18th-century bridge that rises from the floor of the El Tajo Gorge to over 400 feet and connects the old Moorish town and the newer parts of the city, including El Mercadillo (The Little Market). Built in 1759, the bridge took 42 years to complete and cost the lives of 50 workers during construction. A small stone-walled cavern in the middle of the bridge above the main arch was once used a prison during Spain’s Civil War and now houses an exhibition about the history and the construction of the bridge. There are several viewpoints along the bridge that offer spectacular panoramic vistas of the gorge.
