About
Puente Nuevo stands as a testament to 18th‑century engineering, bridging the 120‑metre‑deep El Tajo gorge that cleaves Ronda into upper and lower towns. Completed in 1793 after four decades of construction, the single‑arch span stretches 66 m and rises 36 m above the river, offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding Andalusian landscape. Visitors can cross the stone walkway while exploring a small exhibition housed in the central arch, which chronicles the bridge’s construction and its storied history, including wartime anecdotes from the Spanish Civil War. The bridge remains one of Spain’s most photographed landmarks, celebrated for its blend of functional design and dramatic scenery.
