The history of this bridge dates back to 1870, although its construction did not begin until the beginning of the last century, in 1904. Its inauguration in 1908 was a major milestone for the city, which saw its communications with the historic region of La Jara, Extremadura and Andalusia improve.

It extends along the eastern bank of the Tagus River and is the second most populated municipality in the province and the fourth in Castilla-La Mancha. Among its monuments are the Basilica of Our Lady of the Prado, which houses what is today the patron saint of the city. It was called Queen of the Hermitages by Philip II, it is also called the Sistine Chapel of ceramics, because this colorful art shows here all its splendor from the 16th century to the present day. The style of its construction is a combination of Renaissance and Baroque, although it has undergone various restorations over the centuries. It was elevated to the dignity of Basilica in 1989 by Pope John Paul II. In the Church of Santa María La Mayor (La Colegial) you can admire its pure Gothic cloister, which was built around the year 1469. Its floor plan is rectangular, made up of three longitudinal naves and without a transept. In the years 1704 and 1705 the two upper sections of the Tower were added.

Ruins of the old hermitage, which only allows us to imagine what it was like years ago. It is the only thing that remains as a testimony of the disappeared town of Santiago de Zarzuela, abandoned centuries ago. Charming place in the middle of nature.
