It is said that the stone bridge was built in the 15th century and destroyed in the middle of 1643. Rebuilt in 1659. In the eighteenth century, architects reinforced the banks to protect the bridge from floods. The reconstruction of the bridge was of great economic significance for Spain's development."Zaragoza1.5 km from downtownHighlights: The stone bridge over the Ebro River in Zaragoza is an earlier stone bridge built here.
