12. Duge Bridge, China (2016)
Not the tallest but the *highest* bridge in the world - its road deck is an astonishing 565 metres above the Beipan River.
10. Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina
First built in 1566 by the chief architect of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, it was destroyed during the Croat–Bosniak War in 1993 and rebuilt stone for stone in 2004.
9. Caravan Bridge in Izmir, Turkey (9th century BC)
Nearly three thousand years old, this is the oldest bridge still in use anywhere in the world, and one of the oldest still-used structures of any kind.
8. Ping Tang Bridge, China (2019)
One of the best examples of the cable-stayed bridge, which has become the dominant form of modern major bridge projects.
7. Bridge of Sighs, Venice (1603)
Not remarkable for its engineering but for its beauty, this bridge connects a prison with interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palce; from its windows convicts would glimpse their final view of Venice.
6. Forth Bridge, Scotland (1890)
Once the longest cantilever bridge in the world, it is a testament to how scientific progress and industrialisation had changed what was possible with engineering.
5. Allahverdi Khan Bridge, Iran (1602)
Known locally as Si-o-se-pol, this is one of the finest stone-arch bridges in the world, which was the dominant method of bridge construction for centuries.
4. Øresund Bridge, Denmark-Sweden (1999)
The longest bridge in Europe, it connects the road and rail networks of Scandinavia with those of Western Europe.
Bridges represent some of the greatest achievements of human engineering and architecture. Here are 12 of the most extraordinary:
1. Millau Viaduct, France (2004) - the world's tallest bridge.
