Although catalogued within the heritage of Granada, it is an attraction for the future enjoyment of neighbors and curious people, since it is located right on the border of our municipality with the capital. The rapid rehabilitation of the vault is expected and it is a bridge over the old riverbed, a bluestone bridge from the first third of the nineteenth century. It is representative of French architecture and has a single eye with a lowered arch. It is called the French Bridge, probably built by Napoleonic troops for the occupation of Granada.
