Why is this bridge not just a bridge? You might ask yourself looking at these impressive Arcos de Ingreso a Saldán. Well, let me tell you. The Arcos de Saldán are not just any bridge. They are a testament to Cordoba’s ambition and engineering prowess. Built in 1890, these arches were designed to carry a vital water channel. This channel brought fresh water from the Dique Mal Paso, located 11 kilometers away, to the thirsty city. Imagine the scale of this project back then. The engineers, Cassaffouth, Bialet Massé, and Dumesnil, are the same masterminds behind the iconic Dique del Lago San Roque. This is the one with that gigantic funnel you might have heard of. Today, the Arcos de Saldán stand as a proud landmark and a reminder of Cordoba’s rich history. They are a popular spot for visitors to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surrounding nature. And they marvel at the ingenuity of their forefathers.
