Our technical and project study visits with the World Heritage management partners took us today to the Bizkaia Suspension Bridge.

This bridge is one of the most outstanding constructions of the European Industrial Revolution and iron architecture. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2006 for its striking work that perfectly combines beauty, aesthetics, and functionality. It is also a member of the Alliance of Landscapes and Related Sites.

We were fortunate to have Marta Uriarte, the manager of the Hanging Bridge, join us on our trip. We’re returning her visit after she visited us in Territorio Mudéjar in April for the Alliance assembly.

The meeting was very beneficial, and we were able to discuss industrial heritage, land use management, and waterways as historical articulaters of the territory, among other topics. In fact, we are already studying a joint project for 2025.

We continue working on the management of World Heritage.
