Completed in 1966, it was originally named the Salazar Bridge but was renamed after the Carnation Revolution on April 25, 1974. The bridge is reminiscent of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, with its distinctive red color and similar design. It connects the city of Lisbon with the municipality of Almada and serves as a vital transportation link for both vehicles and trains. The bridge offers stunning panoramic views of Lisbon and the Tagus River, making it a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's modernity and progress.
