The Bridge Pavilion (Pabellón Puente) is a futuristic pedestrian bridge that spans the Ebro River, connecting Zaragoza's city center with the former Expo 2008 grounds. Designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid, its sleek, organic form resembles a gladiola flower or a giant fish skeleton. The bridge is not just a crossing but also an exhibition space, with a glass-enclosed walkway that offers panoramic views of the river and the city skyline. Visitors can stroll across the 270-meter-long structure, marveling at its white, flowing curves and the way it seems to hover over the water. Inside, the bridge houses a small museum dedicated to the Expo's theme of water and sustainable development. The surrounding parkland, now a public green space, makes it a pleasant area for a leisurely walk or a picnic.
