The 25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril “25th of April Bridge” is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tejo river. Because of its similar coloring, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. In fact, it was built by the same company (American Bridge Company) that constructed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and not the Golden Gate, also explaining its similarity in design. Until 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar). (Wikipedia)
