This was the first rail link between the two banks. It was also one of the first works in iron, designed by the famous Engineer Gustave Eiffel. Its inauguration, on November 4, 1877, was attended by Queen D. Maria Pia and her husband King D. Luiz I. In its time it was an audacious and creative engineering work that dazzled and continues to dazzle Portuguese and foreigners. Source: https://www.cm-gaia.pt/
