The Puente de Piedra de Zamora is one of the five bridges that cross the Duero River as it passes through the capital of the province of the same name.

For centuries it was the only river crossing in the city, connecting the suburbs with the historic center of the city.

Due to its location on the Vía de la Plata, it was an important crossing point for the Duero River for people, merchandise and transhumant herds.

It was finished building at the beginning of the 13th century, and subsequently renovated on several occasions, it is currently one of the most representative symbols of the city.

In interventions carried out at the beginning of the 20th century, many ornamental elements of the bridge were radically modified, the two existing towers on both sides of the entrance of the bridge were eliminated, in order to make it more accessible to the growing traffic. Much of the ornaments and ornaments of the bridge disappeared in this profound reform. Only the original stone material remains: the vaults of the main arches and the piers, although these were thoroughly retouched.
