San Francesco di Paola Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Cosenza, Italy
The San Francesco di Paola Bridge features a 104-meter-tall inclined pylon supporting steel cables arranged in a harp configuration over the Crati River.
The construction project began in 1999 under Mayor Giacomo Mancini as part of an urban regeneration program for the Gergeri district of Cosenza.
Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava designed this modern bridge, which has become a central element in the transformation of southeastern Cosenza.
The bridge structure includes four vehicle lanes and a central pedestrian pathway connecting Contrada Gergeri with Via Reggio Calabria across the Crati River.
The bridge's 52-degree angled pylon weighs 800 tons and ranks as the second tallest cable-stayed bridge structure in Europe.
