Vizcaya Bridge
The Vizcaya Bridge spans the Ibaizabal Estuary west of Bilbao. The bridge was designed by Basque architect Alberto de Palacio and completed in 1893. Standing 45 metres high and spanning 160 metres, the bridge combines 19th century ironwork traditions with the then-new technology of light, twisted steel cables. It was the first bridge in the world to carry passengers and vehicles via a high-suspended cable car and was copied by many similar bridges in Europe, Africa and America, only a few of which have survived. The bridge is considered one of the most outstanding iron structures of the Industrial Revolution due to its innovative use of light, twisted steel cables.
Trinidad and the Valley de los Ingenios
