AJUDA BRIDGE

The Fundación Juanelo Turriano announces the release of Ajuda, último puente--fortaleza de Europa, a joint publication in which it participated.

In this richly documented and handsomely illustrated book, a spatial and formal analysis of the bridge precedes an account of its long and eventful history, in turn followed by an appraisal of its importance, particularly in comparison to contemporary bridges.
