Puente de la Exposición

This guide to the Puente de la Exposicion in Valencia opens with a 1909 art nouveau footbridge, built for a regional fair over the dry Turia riverbed, and its destruction in the catastrophic 1957 flood. It follows the tilted steel arch that architect Santiago Calatrava raised in its place between 1991 and 1995, together with the metro station hidden beneath it. Stand under the arch and listen for why Valencians gave the official bridge a second name of their own.
