About Hradecky Bridge

Bridges, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Bridges

The Hradecky Bridge (Slovene: Hradeckega most) is one of the first hinged bridges in the world, the first and only preserved cast iron bridge in Slovenia, and one of its most highly valued technical achievements. It spans the Ljubljanica River in Ljubljana. At the time of its construction, it was praised as elegant, very modern, and economical. Because it was later used to transport the dead from the Ljubljana hospital to the mortuary, it was nicknamed the Mortuary Bridge (Mrtvaški most), but has retained its beauty and technical perfection. Throughout history, both names have persisted.
