Crossing the Roxas City Bridge

The Roxas City Bridge has been a cherished legacy of the city since Spanish times and has long been a great vantage point from which to see the sights that the city has to offer.

The old and imposing Spanish City Bridge has remained strong and firm since it was built in 1910. Connecting the commercial center of the city to the main thoroughfare, traversing the Panay River, the bridge is a silent witness to various changes that ushered in progress and development in the city. Like the old bridge, equally alluring is the huge stretch of the Panay River that traverses the very heart of the city. For this, Roxas City has been dubbed as the "Venice of the Visayas."
