More than 600 bridges:  Some no longer exist. Some are in ruins.  The majority have been rebuilt in a more modern style.  Thirty per-cent still exist, however, substantially as they were created (Red and Maroon markers in the catalogue).  These are beautiful monuments in the landscape - architectural treasures, often ignored and sometimes neglected.
