Valencia City Spain

Valencia Bridges run from the north of the city to the south and enable you to cross from the Old Quarter to the New City and Port and Valencia beach.

Calatrava Bridge

This is an ultra modern bridge known as the Calatrava Bridge. It's nicknamed La Peineta because it's shaped like a Spanish comb. Santiago Calatrava built the bridgge in the 90s to replace the old Exposición Bridge built in 1909.

Puente de las Artes Bridge - Bridge of the Arts links Guillem de Castro with the road leading to Burjassot. After you've crossed the bridge, IVAM is on the right and you are in the trendy and popular Barrio del Carmen.



Puente de San José is a very beautiful old bridge which used to be the gateway from Portal Nou (which no longer exists) to the north.


Puente de los Serranos and the lovely Torres de Serranos are located in the Old Quarter on the other side of the bridge. The bridge leads from the Old Quarter to Calle Sagunto which used to be the road linking the city to the Roman fortress of Saguntum.

Puente del Real is the royal bridge and dates back to the 16th century.

The bridge has statues of the two patron saints of Valencia - San Vicente Martir andthe Virgin de los Desamparados.



Puente de los Flores is the lovely and very romantic Bridge of Flowers. It literally is overflowing with beautiful flowers and the bridge has a path for cycling, a wooden walkway and many benches where you can sit and enjoy the wonderful view.



Puente del Mar is a lovely pedestrianized bridge linking Plaza de America with the Alameda. The stone alcoves and statues of saints make this a very beautiful and popular bridge with Valencianos.
