The five hundred euro note measures at 160 millimetres (6.3 in) × 82 millimetres (3.2 in)[27] with a purple colour scheme.[27] All bank notes depict bridges and arches/doorways in a different historical European style; the five hundred euro note shows Modern architecture (around the 20th century).[27] Although Robert Kalina's original designs were intended to show real monuments, for political reasons the bridge and art are merely hypothetical examples of the architectural era.[28] Nevertheless, the featured bridge is highly similar to Guadiana International Bridge.
