It took six years to build. National Monument was the first major work on the Douro River designed and built by Portuguese engineering. The Arrábida Bridge was inaugurated on June 22, 1963, according to a project by engineer Edgar Cardoso. At the time, it was the longest span reinforced concrete arch bridge in the world: 270 meters. Its simple beauty is still admired today, consolidating itself as one of the icons of the city.
