Alamillo Bridge & Cartuja Viaduct

Alamillo Bridge & Cartuja Viaduct
Architect: Santiago Calatrava
Address: Ronda de Circunvalation SE-30, Sevilla, Spain
Investor:Ayuntamiento de Sevilla
Completion:1989-92


Constructed for the 1992 World's Fair Expo in Seville, Spain, the Alamillo Bridge has since become an international landmark celebrated for its innovation and beauty. The bridge's most striking feature is the 142 meter high pylon, which, inclined at an angle og 58 degrees, supports the 200 meter span across the Guadalquivir River with 13 pairs of stay cables and counterbalances the bridge deck without the need for backstays.
