Puente de Piedra
A 15th-century stone arch bridge across the Ebro River, guarded by lion statues at each end. It is the best spot for photographing the full view of the Basilica del Pilar.
The Puente de Piedra, also known as the Lion Bridge, was built in the 15th century and has since been restored several times. Lion statues from the city coat of arms stand at both ends. From the bridge or the opposite riverbank, you can frame the Basilica del Pilar's dome and four towers in one shot. The setting sun and the night view are especially photogenic. After crossing the bridge, you can walk west along the north bank of the Ebro towards Lagoya Park and the Expo site (Parque del Agua). It is free to walk here at any time of day.
