Puente de San Rafael, Arch bridge in Córdoba, Spain
The San Rafael Bridge extends 217 meters across the Guadalquivir River with eight concrete arches, each measuring 25 meters in length and 18.5 meters in width.
The bridge opened on April 29, 1953, marking the second crossing point over the Guadalquivir River in Córdoba after the Roman Bridge's two-millennium dominance.
The structure represents mid-20th century Spanish engineering and connects the Corregidor Avenue with Plaza de Andalucía through four traffic lanes and two pedestrian walkways.
The bridge underwent significant repairs in 2004, with an investment of one million euros to improve its structural integrity and maintain its function as a main traffic artery.
In January 2004, authorities removed commemorative plaques from both bridge entrances that had marked its inauguration by General Francisco Franco.
