I share in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia this photograph of the Girona stone bridge, which I captured from Plaza Catalunya at 8:30 in the morning while I was running.
Belonging to the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia, the Stone Bridge crosses the Onyar river, where it creates a geometric game of reflections in its waters, as can be seen in the snapshot.
It was built during the reign of Elizabeth II. This bridge replaced a previous one of medieval origin known as Pont de Sant Francesc or Pont de Frasmenors.
The construction of the Pont de Pedra de Girona began in 1850, after moving the market to the Palanca d'en Vila. Two years later, in 1852, the works stopped, and it was not until 1854 when they were resumed.
Although the bridge ended up being inaugurated in 1856, the passage of time and new trends have subjected it to some renovations. Currently, it is one of the city's tourist attractions.
