It spans the Duero River in Zamora (Castilla y León), connecting Avenida de Portugal (Pinilla neighborhood) with Calle de Salamanca in the city. The project began in 1882, with construction starting in 1892, under the direction of engineer Prudencio Guadalajara, to alleviate the overloading of the old Stone Bridge. Inaugurated in 1900, it represented a significant improvement in handling the growing traffic in the city. It was designed in steel, using a metal lattice structure of the St. Andrew's Cross type, typical of the late 19th century.

The Cathedral of San Salvador in Zamora, also known as the Cathedral of the Savior, is a Romanesque jewel and an important historical monument in Spain. The cathedral is an outstanding example of Douro Romanesque, with Byzantine influences, especially in its famous dome. It was built between 1140 and 1174 and is the smallest and oldest of the eleven cathedrals in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. To visit the Cathedral of San Salvador in Zamora and learn more about its history, architecture and the works of art it houses, you can consult its official website or plan a visit to experience its beauty in person. I hope you enjoy discovering this Spanish Romanesque treasure! 🏰✨
