Boeza Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Boeza Bridge began construction in the 16th century and took more than 20 years to complete. During the works, a large flood destroyed its main arch, which caused the bankruptcy of the builder, Juan de Suertes. Despite the challenges, this stone bridge remains in excellent condition. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, you will immerse yourself in the rich history of Ponferrada and enjoy its historical beauty. 🌉🚶‍♂️

Medieval Bridge of Toral de Merayo

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, which connects the neighborhoods of Toral and Merayo, is built over the Oza River and combines traditional architecture with the natural beauty of the area. Its slate and limestone masonry structure evokes a sense of historical authenticity. Although it is not as famous as other medieval bridges, its uniqueness and location make it an interesting place to visit. 😊

Statue of Nazareno Lambrion Chupacandiles

Highlight • Monument

The Lambrión Chupacandiles statue in Ponferrada is a bronze tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the local Semana Santa tradition. Installed in 2024 at the Church of San Andrés, the statue depicts a Nazareno in a black hooded robe, holding a bell—just as he parades through the city each year to announce the arrival of Holy Week. The figure, which originated in the 17th century, is linked to the Hermandad de Jesús Nazareno and takes its name from a legend that says he tasted wine and even oil from candlesticks along the way. Designed by Tomás Bañuelos and Soraya Triana, the sculpture has become a recognizable symbol of Ponferrada's religious heritage.

Basilica of Our Lady of the Encina

Highlight • Religious Site

The passion of the city of Ponferrada and the entire Bierzo region for their patron saint has given rise to so much devotion and beauty in this place of meeting and prayer. The information and treasures found in different areas inside the basilica are a summary of splendors and difficult moments that did not stop the desire to gather all that legacy.
If you ever get the chance to visit, you are sure to enjoy its rich history and spiritual atmosphere! 🙏✨
