THE IRON BRIDGE - AUDIO GUIDE
AUDIO GUIDE TRANSCRIPTION
The iron bridge was constructed between 1909 and 1911. The main purpose of the bridge was to connect the city with Villamuriel and the vegetable gardens that were on the other side of the river.
The iron bridge replaced an older bridge made of wood from 1874.
The architect used iron because iron bridges are lighter, faster to finish and cheaper.
The iron bridge crosses the 45 metres of distance between the two banks without leaning on the river. It was created in Nervion, near Bilbao.
Its iron decorations on the rail are very beautiful.
