Puente Real, Badajoz

The Puente Real spans 452 meters across the Guadiana River with a central A-shaped pylon reaching 81.2 meters into the sky.

The Spanish royal family placed the first stone of this infrastructure project in September 1992, leading to its completion in December 1994.

The bridge connects different sectors of Badajoz while serving as a meeting point for community gatherings along its wide pedestrian walkways.

The structure includes four vehicle lanes, dedicated bicycle paths, and spacious sidewalks, supporting multiple transportation methods across the Guadiana River.

Twenty-eight steel cables covered in polyethylene form a fan-shaped pattern that creates a harp-like silhouette against the Spanish sky.
