Pont d'Aragó

The Pont d’Aragó in Valencia spans the Turia River, linking Plaza Zaragoza with the Paseo de la Alameda and the Gran Vía Marqués del Turia. Unofficially opened in 1933, the bridge is a work in the Rationalist style by the engineers Arturo Monfort, José Burguera, and Gabriel Leyda. It takes its name from the Aragón railway station that once stood nearby but has since disappeared. Measuring 167 meters long and 30 meters wide, the structure has six arches, each with a span of 25 meters. The design includes a central hedge, lanes for traffic on either side, and large iron columns that originally supplied power to the streetcar line and the lighting. Today, the bridge carries both pedestrians and vehicles.
