Learning about culture is a very important part of learning new languages. This part is dedicated to landmarks in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Universidad Central de Venezuela (as CEAPUCV is part of the UCV).
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built in 1886–1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic
symbol of London.
Tower Bridge is one
of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates Plans for the Tower Bridge were devised around 1876
when the east of London became extremely crowded and a bridge across the Thames
in that area of the city seemed a necessity.
Taking photographs of the Tower
Bridge is a favorite London tourist activity, but you can also go inside the
bridge, where you'll have a magnificent view over London from the walkway
between the two bridge towers.
