Between 1890 and 1893, he worked, together with his brother Silvestre de Palacio (engineer), on his most important project, the
transporter bridge (
"Puente Colgante") on the
Nervion river, between
Portugalete and
Getxo (
Biscay), for which he gained international recognition. It was the first bridge of this kind ever built. All his work is characterized for the search of the functionality and the innovation, where
iron and
glass play a noticeable role. He passed long seasons of work in
Madrid where he: • Participated in the construction of the
Palacio de Velázquez in the
Retiro Park, together with architect
Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, coordinator of the project, and the ceramicist
Daniel Zuloaga (1881 and 1883). • Participated in the construction of the
Crystal Palace (inspired by the
London one) in the same park, again with architect Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, coordinator of the project, and ceramicist Daniel Zuloaga (1887). • Designed and built the new
Madrid Atocha railway station, in collaboration with the engineer Saint-James (1889–1892). • Built the
Osram factory (1914–1916). Image:Palacio de Cristal - Parque del Buen Retiro.jpg|The Crystal Palace at Retiro. Image:Palacio de Velazquez (Madrid) 01.jpg|Palace of Velázquez at Retiro. Image:Atocha1613.JPG|Atocha Station. ==References==
