History edit

Lusitania bridge was built over the Guadiana River in 1991 by a Spanish consortium, in order to take the road traffic off from the nearly 2000 years old Romano bridge. The architect was Santiago Calatrava. The bridge takes its name from the fact that Emerita Augusta (present day Merida) was the former capital of Lusitania, an ancient Roman province.
