Arts Bridge. Architect: Sir Norman Foster.
With its state-of-the-art engineering, the Pont de les Arts provides a touch of modernity in contrast to the nearby ancient bridges with their great ashlars, yet its two 20-metre boards supported transversally on a single pillar do not detract from the historical Puente de San José Bridge nearby. Meanwhile, the riverbed comes alive everyday on its dozens of sports fields, athletics tracks and cycle path.
