Puente De La Riena

The "Bridge of the Queen" is considered as the last existing physical structure that symbolizes Spanish colonization of the city. Known as the oldest bridge in the city, its cobblestones are still intact, relics of an age long gone. It was built in the early 1800’s but was completed in 1861.

During the Spanish era, the bridge served as a docking area for sailboats, vintas of Chinese, Javans and Indonesians who frequented the island to sell their produce.

The bridge is still in use today. It is situated near the twin buildings of the Executive and Legislative branch of the city and beside the old Ormoc City Hall.
