Puente de la Mujer



Puente de la Mujer

This pedestrian bridge is the first work by Valencian architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava in Latin America.

It has 160 meters long and 6 meters wide. Its metallic mast raises 39 meters. The bridge (of an estimated weight of 800 tons) is prepared to move every time a ship needs to pass through.

The artistic profile of the work is inerpreted by the author as the figure of a couple dancing tango, where the white mast represents the man, and the curved silhouette of the bridge represents the woman.
