    Pintor Lopez - Plaza del Real
The bridge has a pair of structures housing sculptures of San Vicente Martir and San Vicente Ferrer.

The Real bridge – another Gothic bridge that was built after the 1517 flood destroyed the old wooden bridge. Construction on the Puente del Real began in 1595, with ashlars and keystones from the cemetery of the nearby Santo Domingo Convent, and was concluded three years later, to coincide with the wedding celebrations of King Felipe III and Queen Margarita.

The Puente del Real has nine pointed vaults and a pair of structures housing sculptures of San Vicente Mártir and San Vicente Ferrer carved by Carmelo Vicent and Ignacio Pinazo. The bridge was severely damaged in the floods of 1957 and was widened in 1964 to increase traffic flow, thereby losing its human scale.
