Really similar! To be honest I think I have seen many similar bridges all around Spain and Italy, not just Central Europe.

Those little intermediate piers were probably the slowest part of the on site work. And the most vulnerable part of the bridge, because that's what gets eroded. It's still the biggest cause of bridge failure.

yeah I imagine once a technique is mastered, it would be used all over the place! Not sure if one "company" started offering this service in many places, could explain the similarity.

#10I used to be tempted to think that our modern generations are extra smart because of the cool gadgets we have.
Seeing stuff like this, and reading ancient political / philosophical writings, gives me a much-needed reality check.
