Malagonlong Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Tayabas, Philippines.
The Malagonlong Bridge extends 445 feet across the Dumaca River with five stone arches decreasing in size from the central span.
Construction of this Spanish colonial bridge began in 1841 under Franciscan priest Antonio Mateos and required 100,000 adobe blocks to complete.
The bridge represents traditional Filipino engineering methods, combining stone masonry with local materials such as molasses and eggs for enhanced durability.
While no longer open to vehicles, pedestrians can access the bridge from either Barangay Mateuna or Lakawan sides for photographs and river views.
Each of the bridge's six viewing balconies provides different perspectives of the water flow and architectural details of the stone arches below.
