Bridges lead Queens to their castles, Brooklyn to New York, and commuters on their everyday route to work. Without bridges our world would be a different place, although we rarely stop to think about a world without bridges.
Back many years ago, the South American Inca civilization were among the first we know of to use bridges as a mode of transportation. Their rope bridges paved the way for many more bridges to develop in societies all over the world, and all throughout time.
Some bridges are big and beautiful, while other bridges play it simple and humble. These 20 bridges are incredibly mystical, for more reasons than one. Enjoy the view, and let your imagination run wild!
