Stairs and everything related to the tunnel are linked to Tarot mysticism and different rituals.

It was an interesting feeling while being inside there.

Ponte 25 de Abril bridge in Lisbon is 2.3km long.

Similar in size and type bridge called Golden Gate was constructed by the same architect in San Francisco.

Almost the same bridge and tram, is it just a coincidence?
