Pont del Petroli, Historical pier and bridge in Badalona, Spain

The Pont del Petroli extends 235 meters into the Mediterranean Sea, featuring a concrete structure supported by metal pylons and a 100-square-meter platform at its end point.

Built in 1879 as a wooden structure for oil vessel unloading, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1965 by Campsa using concrete and wood materials.

The entrance displays a bronze statue merging a monkey from Anis del Mono factory logo with Charles Darwin's face, representing local industrial heritage.

The structure includes a weather station that collects meteorological and oceanographic data, while providing a walking path for visitors along the Mediterranean coast.

This former industrial pier transformed from an oil unloading facility to a public recreational space, maintaining its original architectural elements while serving new purposes.
