Puente de Hierro

Puente de Hierro crosses the Ebro River in Logroño, from Sagasta Street, in direction of the North and it ends just in front of the Bodegas Franco-Españolas. Its name simply comes from the fact that it is made out of iron, but its the type that is characteristic of those post-Industrial Revolution buildings, such as the great train stations, markets, the Eiffel Tower...

From there you can see the Stone Bridge (Puente de Piedra) and in between them there is the Science House (Casa de la Ciencias), the old slaughterhouse of Logroño transformed into an exhibition and scientific culture building.

The Ebro Park of Logroño can be crossed through this bridge. The Ebro River can be crossed as well. From there you will have stunning views of the city as well as of the river and its banks.

Its dark past had a great influence on the way it was re-built afterwards, as one can see there are various rivets that make it safer. The previous bridge had a tragic ending in which 80 people died, this is why they wanted to make sure that they built a strong bridge this time, one that would resist through time. It looks as if they managed, since it has been standing since 1882.
