Contemporary bridges stand out for their design, which blends in with the natural and urban landscape. Their lines and materials offer a blend of functionality and beauty, becoming protagonists of urban and natural skylines.

Railway bridges: The passage of time and history
Railway bridges are witnesses of times gone by, but also of stories that are still being written. These imposing structures, mostly made of metal and concrete, cross rivers and valleys and connect different parts of the Galician territory. Their shapes and size create a sense of strength and durability, something that makes them unmistakable in our landscape.

Suspension bridges: Lightness and harmony with nature
Suspension bridges, suspended over rivers, are examples of how architecture can be combined with the natural environment in a light and fluid way. These bridges invite you to cross slowly and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Two examples of this typology are the suspension bridge O Xirimbao, over the river Ulla between the municipalities of Teo and A Estrada and the suspension bridge Cal Grande, over the river Eume and within the beautiful Fragas do Eume.

Galicia's bridges are much more than simple infrastructures. Each one of them has a history and a context of its own. Through these photographs, I wish to convey that unique connection between architecture and landscape, and how the beauty of each bridge, big or small, is part of our identity.
