Built of stone and with several semicircular arches, it is a good example of medieval civil engineering and has withstood the test of time thanks to its solidity, although it has been restored at different times. At one time it was key for the transit of workers and goods between neighborhoods, contributing to the economic growth of Aranda.

The medieval Puente de las Tenerías, located in Aranda de Duero over the Bañuelos river, is one of the most interesting historical corners of the city, although less known than the Duero bridge. It is a construction of medieval origin, linked to the urban and industrial development of the town, as it takes its name from the old tanneries (leather tanning workshops) that were in the area and that needed abundant water for their activity.

The bridge is built of stone and is characterized by its semicircular arches; it originally had four, although today it retains three due to later renovations. Over the centuries it has undergone numerous restorations, especially due to the floods of the Duero, one of the most important being the expansion and widening in the 19th century. In addition to its architectural value, it has been a strategic point for the passage of people, goods and herds, and today it is a symbol of the city and a very pleasant place to walk and enjoy the views of the river and Aranda de Duero.
