    The Puente Nuevo is a bridge spanning the 120-metre-deep (390 ft) chasm above the Guadalevín River which divides the city of Ronda in southern Spain. Construction of this new bridge started in 1759 and ended in 1793, thereby taking 34 years to build.

    There is a chamber above the central arch that was used for a variety of purposes, including as a prison. The chamber is entered through a square building that was once the guard-house. It now contains an exhibition describing the bridge's history and construction.

    Construction of the previous bridge started in 1735; this was the first attempt to span the gorge at this height. The architects Jose Garcia and Juan Camacho completed the bridge with a single arch design. This bridge was quickly and poorly built, and the entire bridge collapsed in 1741, killing 50 people.
