Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia
A spectacular multicolored bridge provoked us to cross the Mondego River and walk along the other bank to the Santa Clara Bridge to return to the center of Coimbra. It can be seen that the bridge is relatively new. It was built in 2006 by engineer Antonio Adam da Fonseca (several bridges in Portugal) and cool Sri Lankan-British architect and designer Cecil Balmond (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Casa da Musica, Porto, CCTV building in Beijing). The bridge cost almost 5 million euros and was built with the money of one of the programs of the European Union. The main feature of the bridge is its bend. in the middle part. The idea is not new, Santiago Calatrava likes to exploit it. The bridge is named after King Pedro I the Hard and Ines de Castro, his favorite, who became his posthumous wife. Ines was killed here in Coimbra. It's funny, but a day ago we were standing near their sarcophagi in the monastery of Alcobaca. And now on this colorful bridge. Perhaps their love had the same bright colors.
