Questions about the subject, usage, technology & more

Who designed the Ponte Pedonal Pedro e Inês in Coimbra?

The Ponte Pedonal Pedro e Inês was designed by Portuguese architect Cecil Balmond together with the engineering firm Adão da Fonseca. Completed in 2006, the roughly 274-meter-long footbridge spans the Mondego River and is named after the tragic medieval love story of Pedro I and Inês de Castro, whose fate is closely tied to Coimbra.

How can this photo be used?

Thanks to the commercial licensing rights on Kataloop, this stock photo suits a wide range of applications: for example, travel magazines, tourism websites, or Portugal campaigns, as well as projects related to architecture, urban mobility, or city development. The high resolution of over 49 megapixels also supports large-format print use cases such as trade show displays, billboards, or interior design.

What mood does this photo convey?

The symmetrical vanishing point of the wooden deck creates a calm, ordered visual effect. The colorful glass railings add subtle accents without visual noise. The wide view toward green tree lines and the city skyline in the background conveys openness and a light summer feel. The image reads as inviting and clear, without dramatic mood effects.

What equipment was used to capture this photo?

The extreme resolution of this photo (8630 x 5753 pixels) is made possible by the Sony Alpha 1 (ILCE-1), a full-frame mirrorless system with 50.1 megapixels. Combined with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II, the image delivers razor-sharp detail in the wooden planks and glass railings even at large-format print sizes. The zoom lens enabled the precise wide-angle composition with a strong vanishing point.

What visual style or trend does this photo represent?

Urban pedestrian infrastructure is gaining relevance as a visual subject, as planners and municipalities increasingly prioritize car-free public spaces. At the same time, the image reflects the visual trend toward clean geometric compositions and architectural photography with strong leading lines, widely used in contemporary graphic design and communication. Portugal as a travel destination also continues to attract sustained interest.

What is Coimbra known for?

Coimbra, Portugal's former capital, is best known for its medieval university, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013. But the city on the Mondego River offers much more: Parque Verde do Mondego, the Monastery of Santa Cruz, and the historic old town attract visitors from around the world. Coimbra blends academic heritage with vibrant everyday culture and a distinctly Portuguese mix of history and contemporary urban life.
