The Puente de Isabel II, Puente de Triana or Triana Bridge, is a bridge that connects the Triana neighbourhood of Seville, Spain with the centre of the city. It crosses the Canal de Alfonso XIII, one of the arms of the River Guadalquivir that isolate Triana as an almost-island. It was built during the reign of Isabella II of Spain and completed in 1852 as the first solid bridge in Seville, replacing an earlier floating bridge consisting of boats.
