This striking black and white vertical canvas captures the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the longest crossing in Portugal and second longest in Europe at over 17 kilometers. The cable-stayed span features two iconic 150-meter high pylons supporting a 420-meter main span deck, elevated 52 meters above the Tagus River to allow ship passage beneath. Engineered to withstand formidable natural forces, the bridge’s foundations extend nearly 95 meters below sea level and are designed to resist earthquakes 4.5 times stronger than Lisbon’s historic 1755 quake, as well as wind speeds up to 250 km/h. Its elegant structural form combines durability with refined geometry, symbolizing both modern engineering prowess and Lisbon’s connectivity.
