Luis Bridge… Porto..

#EuropeanTravel #Portugal #Porto #LuisBridge This is the most representative landmark of Porto. It is an arched iron bridge built in the 19th century, called the Dom Luis I Bridge or Luis I Bridge, and it is said that it was so called because the bridge was built during the reign of Luis I. It is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was designed by Theophile Seyrig, a German-born Belgian architect. In 1877, Theophile Seyrig, who built the Ponte Maria Pia Bridge in Porto with Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower in France, started building the Dom Luis Bridge in 1881, completed the upper deck on October 30, 1886, and held a completion ceremony the next day, and the lower deck construction was finished in 1888. After viewing the cathedral, it would be a good idea to consider a route that crosses the upper deck of the bridge, looks at the Dou River from the Moru Garden, and then crosses to the lower deck.
