María Cristina Bridge, Road bridge in San Sebastián, Spain.
The María Cristina Bridge spans 88 meters across the Urumea River with three concrete arches and four monumental 18-meter obelisks at its ends.
Inaugurated on January 20, 1905, the bridge replaced a wooden walkway that connected downtown San Sebastián to the North Station and bullfighting arena.
The bridge celebrates Parisian architecture through its obelisks, which replicate those found on the Alexander III bridge in Paris.
The structure provides essential passage for vehicles and pedestrians between the city center and the northern districts of San Sebastián.
The municipal bank provided a century-long interest-free credit to fund the construction of this stone and reinforced concrete bridge.
