Bridge of Remembrance
Bridge of Remembrance, Heritage footbridge in Christchurch City, New Zealand.
The Bridge of Remembrance spans across the Avon River, featuring stone archways, sculptured lions, and memorial inscriptions dedicated to military service members.
The structure opened on November 11, 1924, marking Armistice Day, and underwent extensive restoration following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake at a cost of 6.7 million NZD.
The bridge serves as a central location for ANZAC Day ceremonies where residents gather annually to honor New Zealand's military personnel through various commemorative events.
The pedestrian-only crossing connects City Mall with Cambridge Terrace, providing access to nearby attractions including the Floral Clock and Courts of Justice.
The central arch displays the Latin inscription 'Quid non pro patria,' meaning 'What would one not do for one's country,' accompanied by carved torches.
