Description
The Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) is the newest and largest of three bridges that spanned the 120-meter-deep (390 ft) chasm that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the city of Ronda, in southern Spain.
The construction was started in 1759 and took 34 years.
There is a chamber above the central arch that was used as a prison. During the 1936–1939 civil war both sides allegedly used the prison as a torture chamber for captured opponents, killing some by throwing them from the windows to the rocks at the bottom of the El Tajo gorge.
