For all visitors to Toledo, the Puente de San Martín is a must, for the beauty of the bridge itself, for the sights and the environment .
This bridge was built at the end of the XIIIth, because in 1203 a flood took the old one. This primitive bridge would be located in what is now called the Bath Cava, legend of the same name included in this area.
s.XIV At the end of the bridge was restored (Henry II cut him to hinder the entrance to Toledo), and this time we also have legend. At the end of XVIII San Martín Bridge underwent a further restoration and this left him as we know it today.
The case is now in 2008 is restored again this bridge with a budget of one million euros and in the project include:
-Placement embankments to prevent erosion of the pillars.
-Cleaning the stalls.
-Elimination of the mortar and replacing this one to avoid the effect of water.
He will try to build a plaza at 3 levels.
Well, that's what I know of restoration, we'll see how long it lasts.
