Cobblers' Bridge, Stone pedestrian bridge in Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Cobblers' Bridge spans 273 meters across the Ljubljanica River, featuring stone balustrades adorned with spherical decorations and distinctive lighting pillars.
The structure replaced a medieval wooden bridge where butcher shops operated until Emperor Leopold I ordered their relocation due to sanitation concerns.
The bridge stands as part of architect Jože Plečnik's architectural legacy in Ljubljana, earning UNESCO World Heritage status in 2021.
The crossing connects the medieval Mestni trg and Novi trg squares, providing a direct route for pedestrians exploring the city center.
Two different types of pillars define the bridge's character: taller Corinthian columns along the sides and shorter Ionic ones supporting the lamps.
