Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An impressive concrete span with arches, it was in 1931 that the first pedestrians walked across it.
In the early 1900s it was decided that another bridge spanning the mighty river was needed to serve the increasing population of Triana.
Fascinating to learn that following a comment by King Alfonso XIII expressing his fear that a proposed design would hinder a full view of Torre del Oro, the bridge was lowered by 3 metres.
It now has 2 traffic lanes in both directions, plus a cycle lane as well as those for walkers.

This bridge looks boring but when you are on there it’s fantastic. It has very wide path on this bridge.

Although its not the most famous or beautiful bridge in Seville but Puente De San Telmo certainly has a fascinating history.
This bridge was constructed between 1925-1931 and built from designs from architect Jose Eugenio Ribera and was believe it or not a drawbridge bridge but with the decline of river traffic it was converted to a fixed bridge, its constructed from concrete and looks superb and brings you over the Canal De Alfonso XIII and the magnificent River Gaudalquivir over to Triana, its a bridge most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning a holiday to Seville, that most gorgeous of Spanish city's.

The bridge is no great shakes, but gives pleasant views of the river as well as the Torre del Oro monument.

This is a concrete bridge that crosses the Guadalquivir River and takes you into Triana.
This one opened in 1931 and we had a nice leisurely walk across it.

Not a beautiful bridge at all, just a regular connection between Seville and Triana or Los Remedios neighborhood. You will certainly pass by it though, when in Seville. It is unavoidable.

Another bridge in Seville of seemingly no particular significance. We saw it from a rather uninspiring river cruise that we took while staying in the city. This was the furthest point that we went in one direction. The other bridges that we saw were much more interesting.

Worth seeing, but it's a bridge from Old Seville to Triana, and as there's not a lot in Triana except residential accommodation, probably worth a snap and move on

The bridge is a pretty typical busy bridge but it does give some interesting views to the old town of Seville and to Triana on the other side. It is close to the Torre del Oro and the cathedral and Alcazar.
