About

The Pont de les Peixateries Velles, straddling the Riu Onyar in the heart of Girona, is more than just a pedestrian bridge; it's a gateway to the city's soul. Designed by Gustave Eiffel before he found fame with his Parisian tower, this iron structure embodies a blend of industrial strength and artistic grace. Its latticework, painted a striking red, offers a stark yet charming contrast against the pastel hues of the riverside buildings. This scenic spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists, who flock to capture the enchanting views of the old town’s colorful facades mirrored in the river below.
