Built on another previous one dated in 1460, and destroyed by a strong flood of the river in 1545, the current bridge was completed in 1596, being the King of Spain Felipe II, and Governor of Badajoz D. Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Until the one built in the 15th century, the city lacked a bridge, making the crossing of the river by boat, or taking advantage of the fords in practicable time. The one erected at the end of the 16th century is basically the same one that has survived to this day, being a work of Herrerian character, solidly made of stone.

Symbol of the old entrance to the citadel of Badajoz, this bridge was finished in 1460 and since then it has been possible to cross the Guadiana river.
