The Puente del Horcajo in Villanueva de la Concepción is a historic 18th-century stone bridge that formed part of the Royal Road of Carlos III. It was built between 1787 and 1789 to carry traffic over the Horcajo stream gorge and provide a safe connection between Antequera and the newly established settlements at the foot of the Torcal de Antequera. Its construction was part of the major infrastructure project of King Charles III, who aimed to modernize the roads of Andalusia and promote trade between Madrid and the southern Spanish ports.
