According to Mr. Jun Redor (Historian), Puente de Isabel II was reportedly started on March 15, 1852, and finished on July 6, 1853. It was named after the Isabel II, Queen of Spain. It was built during the administration of Governor General Jose Maria de La O. Isabel II reigned as the Queen of Spain from 1843 to 1868. Isabel was forced to abdicate in favor of her son in 1870 after 2 years of exile as a result of the “Glorious Revolution” (La Gloriosa) in Spain in 1868.

It seems symbolic that the bridge itself has been overshadowed or deposed by the development of the resort itself, even as traces of its grandeur and size remain. Two arches are visible on the side of Villa Cecilia. It is possible that the bridge, which is about 60 meters long used the island that splits the river Iyam as one of its piers or supports as well.
