Modern bridge and ancient castle, this image shows the juxtaposition of 21st century and 10th century engineering. Puente de la Armada Española - 2006 (Bridge of the Navy) is a cable-stayed pedestrian suspension bridge over the Rio Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in Spain. Fuengirola Castle or Castillo Sohail is a 10th century Arab castle occupied by the Moors and later conquered and ruined by the Christian Monarchs in 1485. Rebuilt by the French during the 1807 Peninsular War, and successfully defended from a British-Spanish force at the Battle of Fuengirola, 1810 by a band of 200 Polish soldiers. The castle was renovated in 1995.
