The bridge is built of stone and is characterized by its semicircular arches; it originally had four, although today it retains three due to later renovations. Over the centuries it has undergone numerous restorations, especially due to the floods of the Duero, one of the most important being the expansion and widening in the 19th century. In addition to its architectural value, it has been a strategic point for the passage of people, goods and herds, and today it is a symbol of the city and a very pleasant place to walk and enjoy the views of the river and Aranda de Duero.
