Puente del Obispo
The Puente de Obispo is a sixteenth-century bridge over the Guadalquivir River, on the old route from Jaén to Baeza. Named the Bishop’s Bridge, it is one of the first of the Hispanic Renaissance, made up of 4 unequal barrel vaults, arranged in rows of unequal height. The tower has a chapel inside, which has access from the bridge roadway, with tombstones on either side inscribed with allusions to the Bishop of Jaén, Don Alonso Suárez de la Fuente del Sauce, who financed it.
