Alsina Bridge

By 1859, this bridge was built to unite Pompeya with Valentín Alsina over the River. The style is neocolonial. In 1939, it was called Teniente General José Félix Uriburu bridge, in homage to an Argentine military man in 1930. This is why bridge is still known and called “Alsina Bidge”. The neighborhood badge is located on the bridge: the image of the Pompeya church, the bridge, a street lamp of the tango suburbs nights, with an antique bandoneon and the Argentine ‘distinctive mark’: a tree which cuddles the neighborhood with its foliage and an intellectual shaking hands with a worker.
