アルカセル・ドゥ・サル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Recently, a pedestrian zone was added to one side of the original bridge, allowing for the safe circulation of people and creating a very pleasant circular riverside path. 👍🥾

A pedestrian bridge connecting the city to the other side of the Sado River, where there is a children's playground and the embarkation/disembarkation port for boats offering river tours. This pedestrian bridge also allows for very pleasant walks along both sides of the river. 👍🥾

The name Alcácer do Sal comes from the combination of "Alcácer", from the Arabic al-Qasr (meaning castle or palace), and "do Sal", referring to the importance of salt mining in the region since Roman times, when the city was known as Salacia.

Troia is a town with excellent beaches, with river connections from the Alentejo coast to Setúbal. Here, the Sado River also meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Troia is a town located on the peninsula of the same name, at the edge of the parish of Carvalhal, in Grândola, opposite the city of Setúbal. https://pt.wikipedia.org

Alcácer do Sal is the seat of the municipality of Alcácer do Sal, the second largest municipality in Portugal, with an area of 1,499.87 km² but only 11,112 inhabitants (2021), and is subdivided into four parishes. The municipality is bordered to the north by the municipalities of Palmela, Vendas Novas, and Montemor-o-Novo, to the east by Viana do Alentejo and Alvito, to the southeast by Ferreira do Alentejo, to the south and west by Grândola, and to the northwest, across the Sado Estuary, by Setúbal. The Sado riverside area is a very pleasant place for a walk or bike ride. Here you can also see the immense rice fields.👍🥾

A visually appealing pedestrian bridge connecting the old town with the Passeio do Sado. Beautifully illuminated at night.

The author of this highlight probably means EIFFEL and is referring to Gustave Eiffel, who constructed numerous half-timbered bridges in many countries, but achieved world fame primarily as the builder of the Parisian landmark, the Eiffel Tower. The family name is spelled with a double F, in contrast to the low mountain range "Eifel" located in the far west of Germany (where his ancestors came from, however, before the family emigrated to France). If the 1945 date given in @Javier_DD's post is correct as the year of the inauguration of this bridge, it could NOT have been built by Gustave Eiffel, as he died in 1923.
