Bratislava, Slovakia. The Old Bridge (Stary most).


Bratislava, Slovakia. The Old Bridge (Stary most). Itr is the oldest bridge in Bratislava. The bridge was inaugurated on December 30, 1890 by Emperor Franz Joseph. The steel part of the bridge was completely destroyed during the World War II by retreating German forces. It was later rebuilt by German prisoners of war. Although this was meant to be only temporary, this was the only bridge in Bratislava until 1972 when the New Bridge was built. Due to safety concerns, the Old Bridge was closed to car traffic in 2009 and its future is unclear.
