Out of all eight bridges that Gustave Eiffel had engineered for the Girona railway company, the Iron Bridge (Pont de Ferro), also known as the Bridge of Red Beams (Pont de las Palanques Vermelles) and the Bridge of Old Fishmongers (Pont de les Pescateries Velles) has the quietest history to date.
The bridge connected the banks of the Onyar river in 1877, creating a link between the old town and the town market. Since then, the bridge has undergone several repairs but hasn’t been moved from its original location.
The Iron Bridge today is one of the beloved tourist spots in Girona, ideal for taking photos and selfies.
