Expo 2008 Site – Water Tower & Bridge Pavilion
Parque del Agua / Torre del Agua / Pabellón Puente
The site of the 2008 World Expo, themed on water and sustainable development. Zaha Hadid's Bridge Pavilion and the 76-metre Water Tower are modern landmarks.
The Expo site lies on a bend of the Ebro River in the Las Fatas district. Zaha Hadid's Bridge Pavilion spans the river, shaped like a long, scale-like gallery. On the south bank, the 76-metre Water Tower has a top level with views over the city, depending on opening times. Nearby, the expansive Water Park offers walking and cycling paths and whitewater sports facilities. The Ebro River Aquarium is also within the grounds. The site itself is free to enter, and some buildings open only during events. You can walk along the river from Plaza del Pilar in about 40 minutes, or take a bus.
