    The Palmas Bridge is the oldest bridge in Badajoz, situated over the Guadiana River. It was built in 1596 during the reign of Philip II, although it was built on a previous bridge dating from 1460. This Herrerian-style bridge is 585 metres long and has 32 arches.

    Over the centuries, the bridge has undergone several repairs due to flooding of the river. At one end of the bridge is the Puerta de Palmas, one of the main entrances to the city in times past, and at the other end, a hornwork built in the 17th century to protect the bridgehead.
