Thomond Bridge, Stone bridge in Limerick, Ireland
Thomond Bridge spans the River Shannon with seven limestone arches, featuring curved breakwaters and an ashlar parapet near King John's Castle.
The current structure, built in 1836 for £10,000, replaced a medieval fourteen-arch bridge that served as a crucial defense point during the Siege of Limerick.
The Treaty Stone placement near the bridge marks the location where the historic Treaty of Limerick was signed following the bridge's role in the 1691 siege.
The bridge carries two-way traffic on the R445 Northern Relief Road, connecting Limerick City with Thomondgate across the Shannon River.
A gothic-style toll house once stood at the bridge entrance, where Freemen of Limerick could cross without paying the required fee.
