Vado Lancero Neoclassical Bridge (Alameda)

3D Model

Neoclassical bridge built in the second half of the 18th century by one of the best Spanish architects: Juan de Villanueva (1739-1811). This bridge was part of what is known as Canal de Gran Prior, a large hydraulic infrastructure that sought to achieve better use of the water from the Guadiana river in La Mancha. After decades of abandonment, it was excavated and recovered in 2021. It is currently preserved intact a few kilometers from the small town of Alameda de Cervera (Alcázar de San Juan, Spain).
