Although just an ordinary concrete bridge we chanced upon El Viaducto,its not a Roman bridge as a lot of people expect,if you want a Roman bridge in Madrid head to Puert De Toledo in the Carabanchel neighbourhood spanning the River Manzanares, this bridge is modern ,interesting and very sad at the same time,its unfortunately a suicide hotspot,a row of perspex walls on either side of the bridge are testament to the suicide attempts from this bridge ,its an impressive structure but so sad . Easy to locate on Calle Bailen.

El Viaducto is just a bridge and nothing more. We came by here once, as our hotel was about twenty minutes away. It is close to the Royal Palace, in fact they are on the same road. The bridge takes its name from the road below it, which intersects Calle Bailen. The bridge was originally a 19th century construction, then rebuilt in the 1930s and renovated, reconstructed, fixed, repaired, over the years since. We originally imagined this to be a sort of Roman remains, judging by the name, but obviously that is definitely not the case! If we had known we would not have bothered, as it is just a common concrete bridge, an achievement in itself, but not a tourist attraction by any means. The views from the bridge are not too bad, but not that great either. Apart from that, it is not worth it.
