Nice! That's got to be the Dragonstone bridge from the GoT universe

It was! I wasn't able to track down the original of this specific photo, but it's definitely taken from Gaztelugatxeko Doniene, a small 10th century hermitage that was digitally replaced with a big castle to serve as Dragonstone

I was thinking Serpent's Pass from Avatar

Very cool. My paternal grandfather was from there and I’ve never been. Looks like a stunning place.

This looks like the Serpent's Pass from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I wonder if it was the inspiration.

For sure, Avatar: TLA was highly influential, they couldn't resist building one irl.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, for those interested in finding out more about the place
