Isabel II Bridge (Triana Bridge)

The Puente de Isabel II, universally known as the Triana Bridge, is Seville's oldest bridge and the first iron bridge built in Spain. Opened on 25 February 1852 during the reign of Isabel II, it was designed by the French engineers Gustave Steinacher and Ferdinand Beringer following the model of the Pont d'Iéna in Paris. Its four cast-iron pylons with neoclassical decoration rest on the cutwaters of the former Castle of San Jorge, the seat of the Seville Inquisition for more than three centuries, whose archaeological remains are preserved in the basement of the Triana Market. At sunset, with the Torre del Oro reflected in the river and the Seville sky turning orange, it offers one of the most romantic views of the city.
