“A bridge built with bricks and concrete?” a skeptical voice might ask. Yes, right here, the Puente Avellaneda Plaque commemorates a feat of engineering from 1890. The Puente Avellaneda, unlike its iron and wood predecessors, was a testament to the ingenuity of engineer Enrique Bretón. Imagine eight identical brick arches, gracefully spanning the Suquía River, a testament to the city’s progress. Puente Avellaneda, a sturdy sentinel of time, stood as a symbol of Córdoba’s growth, connecting bustling communities. But time marches on, and between 1968 and 1971, the bridge underwent a transformation. A new chapter was added to its story in the form of a modern expansion. Eight arches of concrete, harmoniously echoing the original design, extended the bridge, seamlessly blending the old with the new. Today, the Puente Avellaneda stands as a proud testament to Córdoba’s past and a symbol of its enduring spirit.
