	In the second part of this article, the development of the timber bridges is shown in detail in relation to the historical and cultural contexts specific to different regions subjectively selected from around the world. For such a purpose, some iconic timber bridges are presented and discussed on a country by country basis. Their mutual comparison allows us not only to appreciate the craftsmanship of both ancient and medieval builders but also to see the diversity of the proposed structural solutions.
