Segovia Bridge

A bridge with a personal touch

Segovia-Virgen del Puerto
Madrid, Madrid 28005
Spain

This nine-arched bridge over the River Manzanares connects Calle Segovia with Paseo de Extremadura. It was built in 1582 during the reign of Felipe II by Juan de Herrera, who was also responsible for the Escorial Monastery. The bridge was intended to make the journey to Segovia a little easier. The architect gave it his personal trademark, adding some unmistakable stone bollards as decoration.

Toledo Bridge

The prettiest bridge in town Glorieta del Marqués de Vadillo
Madrid, Madrid 28019
Spain
+34 91 588 2900 (Tourism Office) The baroque shrines holding images of San Isidro and Santa María de la Cabeza make this nine-arched bridge over the River Manzanares the most attractive in Madrid. It's closed to traffic so you can enjoy walking over it in peace. If you head down from the Toledo gate, you'll find it between the Pirámides and Marqués de Vadillo roundabouts. It was built by Pedro de Ribera during the reign of Felipe V.
