Puente de Piedra

About

The Bridge of Stone (Puente de Piedra) is a 17th-century bridge in Lima, Peru, that connects the districts of Lima and Rímac, both part of the city's historic centre. Built by architect Juan del Corral as the city's only bridge until 1861, it connects the northern Jirón Trujillo with the southern Jirón de la Unión, the latter having once been the most important street in the city.
