The importance of the bridge as a symbol of the city can be seen in the first quartering of city's coat of arms.

One of the disasters that most affected it was the Flood of San Policarpo on the night of January 26, 1626. It was declared Artistic Historic Monument on June 3, 1931, and Bien de Interés Cultural since 1998.
