Puente de Piedra
Bridge / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bridge of Stone (Spanish: Puente de Piedra) is a bridge in Lima, Peru. It was built in 1608 by the architect Juan del Corral to link Lima with Rímac.[1] It is the beginning of the jirón de la Unión, which was, in the first independent years of Peru, the most important road in the city. Until 1861, it was the only bridge in the city.
