Tips
Masonry bridge erected in the 16th century and renovated at the end of the 19th century. The Puente Mayor crosses the Carrión River in Palencia, connecting the city center with the Allende El Río neighborhood. Originally made up of seven semicircular arches and prismatic cutwaters, it was later extended to allow road traffic. It currently has semi-cylindrical pillars and cutwaters with machicolation-shaped finishes, providing a fortified appearance.
