Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge) – (Photo Op)
free, photoop, Lisbon, Lisboa
The 25th of April Bridge was constructed in 1966 and originally named after the dictator Salazar that ruled the country at the time of construction. The name was later changed to 25 de Abril to commemorate the Carnation Revolution, the revolution that toppled the regime of Salazar’s successor. The bridge was patterned after and looks much like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Franciso in the USA. However, the central span is longer than that of the Golden Gate and it is the longest in Europe. There are many good vantage points to see the bridge but one of the best is the Docas de Santa Amaro (see separate entry).
