The Sant Jordi bridge, in Alcoi (Alicante), built between 1925 and 1931 and inaugurated on 26 March of that year to link the city's old quarter with the Horta Major extension. The work of architect Víctor Eusa with engineers Carmelo Monzón and Vicente Redón, it spans the bed of the Riquer river with a length of 245 metres and a height of 45.40 metres. Built in reinforced concrete with decorative elements in concrete and iron, its horizontal deck rests on piers with three pairs of parabolic arches and ornamental railings, in a Valencian Art Deco style of geometric lines close to Dutch Expressionism.
