7/8/2023 0 Comments The underneath appeltOur photographer, Isa, has a theory of her own after photographing it. People even suggest that the skull is not made of stone but is actually authentic. There are also two opposing claims related to what happens when you look at the skull while passing under the bridge: the darker claim is that this results in you being cursed, the more cheerful one is that walking backwards under the bridge while looking at the skull and making a wish results in your wish being granted. Some say that the souls of dead prisoners parade by underneath it. Some say that if the dagger is ever removed, the city will crumble to the ground. With the passage of time, many theories have been invented to explain its presence. It’s an eerie discovery to make, and it will more than likely make you wonder what it’s doing there. Looking down at passersby, from beneath the bridge, is a human skull with a dagger piercing right through it, from the crown down to the mouth. Many of you reading will likely have already passed beneath this neo-gothic bridge, but how many of you have ever looked up at the bottom of it to discover one of Barcelona’s unsolved mysteries? Recently, we did a piece on the Pont del Carrer del Bisbe, one of the most photographed spots in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.
