Peligros's Bridge or Old Bridge


It is an arched stone bridge over the River Segura whose building was finally completed around the year 1742. It is the oldest bridge in the city which actually remains up; hence the name "Old Bridge" as opposition to another one in other part of Murcia City called "New Bridge".
In September 1718 City Council proceeded to start the building due to a flood which destroyed it in 1701. However, the bridge building stopped by Felipe V because of the lack of money but later it was resumed in 1739 until its end in 1742.
Views: You can’t pass the bridge without taking a look at the wonderful scenery which Segura River makes as well as the landscape of the Cathedral’s Bell Tower with some important buildings as the City Council.
Sounds: Sounds depend on the level of cars’ noise, if the street is quite calm you may hear how the water flows and ducks quack.

QR Code location: The QR Code is stuck on the nearest streetlight to the chapel where Peligros Virgin is.
