The Vasco da Gama Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and rangeviews that spans the Tagus River in Parque das Nacoes in Lisbon, capital of Portugal.

Its purpose is to alleviate the congestion on Lisbons other bridge (25 de Abril Bridge), and to join previously unconnected motorways radiating from Lisbon.Construction began on February 1995; the bridge was opened to traffic on 29 March 1998, just in time for Expo 98, the Worlds Fair that celebrated the 500th anniversary of the discovery by Vasco da Gama of the sea route from Europe to India

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an elevated view of the magnificent Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon, Portugal. As one gazes upon this cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and rangeviews, it becomes evident why it holds the title of being the longest bridge in Europe. With a total length of 17.2 km (10.7 mi), including dedicated access roads and impressive viaducts spanning over the Tagus River, this architectural marvel is truly awe-inspiring. The construction of this remarkable bridge began in February 1995 and was completed just in time for Expo 98, a grand World's Fair that commemorated Vasco da Gama's historic discovery of the sea route from Europe to India five centuries earlier. The purpose behind its creation was to alleviate congestion on Lisbon's other prominent bridge, the 25 de Abril Bridge while connecting previously unconnected motorways radiating from Portugal's capital city. As captured by Salvator Barki, this print allows us to appreciate not only the engineering prowess required for such a feat but also offers a glimpse into Lisbon's modern skyline. The Vasco da Gama Bridge stands as a symbol of progress and connectivity, seamlessly blending with its surroundings while providing essential transportation links for both locals and visitors alike. Whether displayed as an artistic centerpiece or cherished as a reminder of Lisbon's rich history and ingenuity, this stunning print is sure to captivate all who lay their eyes upon it.
