Puente Viejo (pronounced as /es/, "Old Bridge") is the second oldest and second lowest of the three bridges that span the 120m (390feet) deep chasm that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the city of Ronda in southern Spain. Despite its name ('Old bridge'), it is newer than the Puente Romano ('Roman bridge'). It was built in 1616, and currently only carries pedestrian traffic.
