Pont de la Mar: Valencia's Renaissance Gem

Envisioned to replace a wooden structure lost to flooding, Pont de la Mar stands as a prominent example of Renaissance architecture in Valencia.

Commissioned in 1591, the bridge was designed to connect districts across the Turia River. Its significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its aesthetic features, including the small pavilions that house statues of the Virgin Mary and St. Pascual Baylón, a 16th-century mystic.
