The Maria Pia Bridge Park is located in the Quebrantões area, belonging to the parish of Oliveira do Douro, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. It is situated in an urban area, adjacent to the parish of Santa Marinha, offering an accessible green space for those seeking a moment of tranquility in the city.
The park owes its name and part of its identity to the historic Maria Pia Bridge, which represents a landmark in engineering and local history. Inaugurated in 1877, this was the first railway crossing to connect the banks of Gaia and Porto. Its design was the work of the Belgian engineer Théophile Seyrig, who worked for the renowned Eiffel company.
