Puente Nuevo

The picture below features the Puente Nuevo, towering 390 feet over the Guadalevรญn River in Ronda, Spain. This is the “new” bridge, meaning it was completed in 1793. The old one was built in 1616. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think it’s safe to say that Ronda is on the list if I ever get to Spain. ๐Ÿคฉ

You may be wondering what that room in the middle of the bridge is for. Among other things, it has served as a prison and a torture chamber during the various civil wars and inquisitions in Spain. Apparently even the torture chambers are beautiful in Spain. ๐Ÿค”
