HERCÍLIO LUZ BRIDGE AND FORT SANTANA

The Hercilio Luz bridge, made of steel, is reminiscent of the one in San Francisco by its architectural style, and by its success on the city's postcards. It was built in the same period, the 1920s, in the middle of the industrial revolution. It symbolizes the development of the city in full expansion at that time. From this bridge you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of Floripa. At the foot of the bridge is the historical fort of Santana, built by the Portuguese in 1761.
