Built in 1957 over Lake Maracaibo, is recognized as one of the most impressive buildings in Venezuela. It's also the largest concrete bridge in the world.
The General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge is located at the Tablazo Strait outlet of Lake Maracaibo, in western Venezuela. The bridge connects Maracaibo with much of the rest of the country. It is named after General Rafael Urdaneta, a Venezuelan hero of Independence who was born in Maracaibo. It is one of the largest bridges of its kind in the world, the second longest in Latin America after the Rio–Niterói Bridge, and ranks 80th among the longest bridges in the world.

Various statuary and fountains in this central plaza such that you can relax and appreciate the views. It is bounded by churches such as the basilica and the Santa Barbara church (a sight in itself) and other city buildings and appended with a Plaza Bolivar to the east. But it is not safe to be here after dusk. Has something to do with a Chinese person?
