Dúrcal
Puente de Lata
The bridge was formerly located in the town of Gor and was built at the beginning of the 20th century to carry the railway line between Guadix and Baza. Following a series of failures, a smaller bridge was built and the original bridge fell into disuse. TEGSA, the company building the tram line from Granada to Dúrcal, decided to purchase the superstructure of the bridge. The tram line opened on this section in Dúrcal in 1924 and remained in operation until 1974. The bridge was actually built in the workshops in Belgium, and its design is attributed to a disciple of Eiffel, as it was constructed using hot riveted rolled iron sheets. Its dismantling, transportation from Gor and assembly were carried out by the German company Dourmonde Union and required the construction of special scaffolding and machinery in Germany. The deck is 188.25 metres long and 4.8 metres wide, sitting 53.2 metres above the riverbed.
