Description
English: It was called Salazar Bridge in 1968. The bridge is over the Tagus (Tejo) River, which is more like an estuary at Lisbon. It was begun in 1962 and opened in 1966, The bridge is 2.3 km (1.4 miles) long, perhaps the longest suspension bridge in Europe. It was originally named for Antonio Salazar, who was dictator of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. It is now called the April 25 Bridge, for the date of the revolution in 1974 that overthrew Salazar's successor, Marcelo Caetano. I took the photo from Castelo Sao Jorge. The monument of Cristo Rei (Christ the King) is at the far left.
