Alamillo Bridge (Puente del Alamillo) The Alamillo Bridge is located in Seville, Spain. It was designed by architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1992. Structural feature: A single inclined pylon from which steel cables fan out to support the bridge span. Its unusual asymmetrical form creates a sense of lightness and dynamism.
The project was designed by Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. Initially, the plan was to build two symmetrical bridges with leaning pylons facing each other; however, due to cost, only one was realized. Construction began in 1989, and the official opening took place on February 29, 1992. Over time, the Alamillo Bridge has become one of Seville’s architectural symbols and an example of a bold combination of engineering and sculptural form.
