Tielmes Bridge over the Tajuña River

Photos of the Bridge over the Tajuña River, sometimes erroneously dated as Roman or medieval, its construction is due to the initiative of the second lord of the town, Don Julio César Escazuola y Juzén, probably to replace a wooden bridge that must have to be in this place. The works, which began in May 1637, were directed by the master stonemason Juan de la Torre and had to be completed in a few months since its utilitarian nature, then an obligatory passage on the road to Valencia, required it.

Paradoxical, but bring water. The fountains have no water.

“Tielmes is heart” is written on the back of the “most beautiful bench”, and to enjoy the views from the panoramic bench it is recommended to take the Route of the viewpoints and fountains and wait until the end of the route. Tielmes is also nature, popular culture, history, ethnography and heritage, it is on the path of the Tajuña Green Route, the Camino de Uclés and the Camino de Santiago de Uclés. A convenient place to park is the car park of the Park, at the entrance of the town, where the hiking routes begin, and good access to visit the urban complex, pass by the beautiful wash house and see the buildings of the Plaza de España, the Plaza de la Constitución and the Plaza de la Iglesia, with a stone fountain and the parish church of the Santos Niños Justo y Pastor. On Calle de la Escuela is the Casa Museo y Escuela Rural, restored in the 19th century, a proposal that “was born with the aim of recovering, protecting and showing the way of life of our ancestors”.
