Bridge built in the 19th century under the reign of Elizabeth II. Also known as the "centipede" since it was originally intended as a suspension bridge but due to the change in typology it ended up having innumerable columns that gave it this nickname. Later it was rebuilt in its current form with 7 concrete arches.

It was built in 1972 at the confluence of the Cabriel and Guadazaón rivers. The dam height is 129 metres. Its purpose is, among other things, to supply water to the city of Valencia.
The Contreras Bridge was built between 1845 and 1851 by the engineer Lucio del Valle. To descend the ravine, he had to build a zigzag road that formed the port of Contreras.
