The Malatos Bridge is a historic bridge located in Burgos, over the Arlanzón River. Its origins date back to the 12th century, with documented references as early as 1165, although some authors date it back to 1198. It was built by order of Alfonso VIII to facilitate access to the Monastery of Las Huelgas and the King's Hospital. The name "Malatos" comes from the nearby hospital of San Lázaro de los Malatos, dedicated to the care of lepers.

A little more cornered than the others, but equally pretty.
