It is known that this bridge was ordered to be built by the Infante Ferdinand in 1410 due to his presence in these lands and the always necessary improvement of the Córdoba – Seville route on the right bank of the Guadalquivir. The works were almost completed in 1428 but stopped, a situation that continued for many years, apparently until a century later. It was a large bridge made of limestone ashlars. It preserves 9 basins, eight of them with their cutwaters clearly visible upstream, and 10 arches, three of them complete. The arches are semicircular and were built using wooden falsework, which is evidenced by the eight beveled mechinales that most of the piers maintain on their intrados. The bridge road is about 6 meters wide and, although it is not preserved, it surely must have had parapets on the sides.
