THE EIFFEL BRIDGE
GIRONA, SPAIN
IMAGE NUMBER 722
The city of Girona is located about 100 km north of Barcelona. There are many tourist attractions. The old Jewish ghetto or Call is one of the best preserved in Europe. The picturesque houses overlooking the Onyar river also qualify. One of the bridges over this river is the Pont de Ferro or Pont Eiffel. It was built by Gustave Eiffel et Companie around 1877 - years before he built the Tour Eiffel in Paris. It is a pedestrian bridge. Do you see any similarities with the Eiffel tower?
