The work of Bernabé Gómez del Río in 1651, it was incorporated into the Roman Bridge on its parapet, to bless all those visitors who came and went through the Puerta del Puente. It is the object of special devotion by the residents of the Campo de la Verdad neighborhood, whose flame is kept alive through offerings in the form of candles. It contains two commemorative headstones. The one located at the lower end is from 1789 and was offered by the tanners' guild to the recently proclaimed King Carlos IV.” (Triunfo de San Rafael del Puente Romano, Wikipedia)
