EDITORS COMMENTS
Dom Luis I Bridge: An Elegant Feat of Iron and Water in Porto, Northern Portugal (circa 1910) The captivating image before you showcases the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge, gracefully spanning the Douro River in Porto, northern Portugal. Opened in 1886, this architectural marvel was designed by the renowned Portuguese engineer, Theophile Seyrig, and the French architect, Théophile Ferret. The bridge, a testament to the harmonious blend of European engineering and artistry, is a double-deck metal arch bridge, with the upper deck reserved for pedestrians and the lower for vehicular traffic. The bridge's distinctive design, featuring two parallel arches, is a sight to behold, particularly when reflected in the shimmering waters of the Douro River. The scene captured in this photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a captivating view of the bridge from the Vila Nova de Gaia side, with the city of Porto and its buildings nestled in the background. The ironwork and metal structures of the bridge, weathered by time, add to its charm and character. The Douro River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its scenic beauty and the famous port wine production. The bridge, an essential connection between the two sides of the river, has played a vital role in the commercial and cultural exchange between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of the Dom Luis I Bridge, a symbol of Porto's rich history and cultural heritage.
