Pedro e Inês bridge, Footbridge in Coimbra, Portugal.
The Pedro e Inês bridge spans 180 meters across the Mondego River with two cantilevered walkways that connect at a central viewing platform.
The footbridge opened in 2007 as part of the Coimbra Polis project, marking the first pedestrian crossing structure over the Mondego River in the city.
The bridge name references Crown Prince Pedro and Inês de Castro, a 14th-century Portuguese royal couple whose tragic romance ended with her assassination.
The structure provides pedestrian access between the university area and the city center, with colored glass balustrades in blue, pink, green, and yellow.
The bridge design creates an optical illusion where the two halves appear to float separately, supported by an engineering system of counterbalanced cantilevers.
