Triple Bridge

The central span has stood since 1842, when it replaced a medieval wooden bridge on the route linking north-western Europe with the south-east and the Balkans. Plečnik kept that stone bridge and between 1929 and 1932 added a pedestrian bridge on each side of it. The result is three decks side by side, the old one flanked by the new.

Architectural Significance

Plečnik added two pedestrian side bridges to the existing 1842 stone bridge. He extended the old structure rather than replacing it.
