The Puente de Piedra is also called the Bridge of Lions because since 1991 four lions have been placed on the pillars at each end of the bridge. The lion statues were designed by Francisco Rallo Lahoz.
Beginning in the 12th century the citizens of Zaragoza tried to build a bridge across the Ebro. In 1401–1440, the Puente de Piedra was built under the direction of Gil de Menestral. The flood in 1643 destroyed two central bridge spans. The bridge then looked as it does in the painting "View of Zaragoza" by Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo .
