The Millennium Bridge (in Galician: Ponte do Milenio), also known as the Gaviota bridge due to its shape, is one of the six bridges over the Miño river in the city of Orense, located between the medieval bridge and the Puente de la N-525. It was designed by the architect Álvaro Varela de Ugarte, from the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid, and stands out for the pedestrian walkway that wraps around the bridge, like a ring, rising up to 22 meters above and descending on the sides.
