Peixateries Velles Bridge, Girona

The Velles Peixateries Bridge (lit. "former fish market") has its present appearance since 1876, when former Onyar River Bridge linking the streets of Santa Clara (in Mercadal neighborhood) and Rambla de la Llibertat (historic center), was redesigned by the Gustave Eiffel architects team, who ten years later created the famous tower in Paris. This is the most photographed bridge from Girona and here you get a beautiful view of the Cathedral, the church of Sant Feliu and the famous house of colors that reflect on the water of the river.
