s old bridge as opposed to the Puente Nuevo (Spanish for new bridge) built in 1903. The popular name of Puente de los Peligros is due to the presence on the south side of the bridge of a niche that keeps a wooden statue of Nuestra Señora de los Peligros (Our Lady of Hazards), the work of Francisco Sánchez Araciel.
