Pedestrian bridge
This magnificent fifteenth century baroque style bridge was built entirely of stone to replace the former made of wood, which was devastated by the great flood of River Turia in the said century. Its name comes from the fact it was the natural entrance to the port of all goods arriving by sea. It was the work of famous Valencian stonemason Francisco Figuerola and was completed in 1596. It was reconstructed and reformed several times and has two types of huts, in one is La Virgen de los Desamparados (The Virgin of the forsaken) and in the other, a carved image of St. Pascual Bailon (this is the saint I ask to help me find things when I lose them and I promise him I will do little dance when they reappear, things one learns as a child and never forgets ...)
