Also called Puente Nuevo, inaugurated in 1954, built in full urban expansion. From this point we can see the Tormes River and the Old Bridge, which was built in the fifteenth century.

15th century masonry arch bridge over the Tormes river. Many believe that it replaced an even older bridge dating from Roman times. Spectacular views of the new and old bridges that span the river landscape.
