Best Puente Nuevo Day Trips & Things to Do

Spanning the deep gorge that separates the town of Ronda into two distinct districts, this picturesque stone bridge was completed in 1793. Called "the new bridge," this 300-foot engineering marvel was built to improve upon a 16th century bridge called the Puente Viejo. A chamber built inside Puente Nuevo housed a prison during the Spanish Civil War, though now it is a museum dedicated to the history of the bridge and the gorge it crosses.
