Puente de la Custodia

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:03:54

Also frequently called Puente Chiquita (Little Bridge), this stone bridge just north of the old center was constructed in 1713 to allow priests to cross the Río Molino to bring the holy orders to the sick of this poor northern suburb. About 160 years later, the solid 240m-long 11-arch Puente del Humilladero was built alongside the old bridge, and is still in use.
