5. Culture & art

   Walk across Malabadi Bridge

   The brick-vaulted chambers inside Malabadi Bridge were also designed to reduce the load on its foundations. As you walk across, look for their windows as well as the arch. Photograph a detail from the public visitor area and record how empty space helps the structure.
