The Puente de Triana — officially the Puente de Isabel II — is Seville's oldest iron bridge, built in 1852 on the foundations of a Roman bridge and a series of boat bridges that preceded it. Designed by French engineers Steinacher and Bernadet, it was the first iron bridge built in Spain and used cast iron produced in a Seville foundry. The bridge connects the old city to the Triana neighbourhood and is the most picturesque of the city's river crossings.
Walking across the bridge at any time of day gives views north and south along the Guadalquivir. Heading west in the late afternoon, the Torre del Oro catches the sun behind you and the white facade of the Maestranza bullring is visible on the right bank. The bridge leads directly to Calle Betis and the river-facing bars of Triana.
