EDITORS COMMENTS
The Puente Nuevo, or New Bridge, is a magnificent architectural feat spanning the deep chasm of the Guadalevín River in the picturesque town of Ronda, Southern Spain. This drawing by Miss C.M. Griffiths showcases the bridge in all its glory, with its elegant arches and intricate stonework. Built between 1751 and 1793, the Puente Nuevo replaced the old bridge that connected the El Tajo gorge's two sides, providing a vital link between the historic El Mercadillo quarter and the modern La Ciudad district. The bridge's construction was no easy task, as it had to be built high above the river to allow for the passage of ships and to provide breathtaking views of the gorge below. The Puente Nuevo is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the people of Ronda. Its historical significance is evident in its inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The bridge's stunning beauty and unique location have made it a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world to witness its majesty firsthand. As you gaze upon this drawing, imagine the sound of the rushing water below, the gentle breeze in your hair, and the sun casting dappled shadows across the bridge. The Puente Nuevo is not just a bridge; it's a symbol of the past, present, and future of Ronda and a reminder of the power of human ingenuity to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
