The 16th century medieval bridge crosses the Jerte River to communicate San Lázaro and the old town of Plasencia.

From this point you can enjoy the panoramic view of the river heading towards the mountain and getting lost among the vegetation.

The San Lázaro Bridge is one of the historic bridges that cross the Jerte River in the Spanish city of Plasencia, in the province of Cáceres. It dates back to medieval times, although the current bridge was reconstructed in 1538. It connects the neighborhoods of San Lázaro and Río Jerte, and the San Lázaro Chapel is located next to its western end.
