Construction[edit]
Original planning for the bridge started in 1542 by the assembly of a committee of master masons and carpenters. Construction started on the foundations in 1544;[2] the first arch was started in 1614.[1] The bridge was finished in 1632, and was inaugurated on 19 October 1659.
The bridge is not symmetrical; the longest arch is the third from the right-hand bank. The openings through the piers were originally supposed to represent the face and mane of a lion.[1] A triumphal archway added in 1686 constricted traffic and was removed in 1860.[1]
It is 220m long[citation needed], and has 7 arches.
