Puente de Piedra (Stone Bridge) at Lima, Peru: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph showcases the Puente de Piedra (Stone Bridge) in Lima, Peru, built-in the late 1600s. The bridge, an essential part of Lima's rich history, spans the Rimac River, connecting the historic district with the district of La Victoria. In the foreground, a horse-drawn tram makes its way across the bridge, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The bridge's arches, worn and weathered by time, stand tall against the backdrop of the Church of San Jose, whose bell tower can be seen peeking through the trees on the left bank of the river. The weir, located at the base of the bridge, is an essential feature that was used to control the water flow and maintain the water level for the city's needs. The Salon Umberto, a popular social and cultural center, can be seen in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. This photograph, estimated to have been taken in the 1910s, offers a unique glimpse into Lima's past. The Puente de Piedra, with its historical significance and picturesque charm, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a symbol of the city's rich heritage.
