Ponte da Boa Vista, Bridge over Capibaribe River in Recife, Brazil.
The Ponte da Boa Vista extends across the Capibaribe River with a symmetrical design that includes pedestrian walkways and bicycle lanes on both sides.
Constructed in 1737, the bridge played an essential role in connecting the central districts of Recife, facilitating the movement of goods and people during colonial times.
The bridge stands near numerous museums and theaters, forming part of the historical center where traditional festivals and performances take place throughout the year.
Vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists can access the bridge daily, with dedicated lanes ensuring safe passage between Santo Antonio and Boa Vista neighborhoods.
The bridge incorporates elements of Portuguese colonial engineering, demonstrating construction techniques from the early 18th century that remain functional today.
