Stambolov Bridge, Metal bridge in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria.
The steel bridge spans 28 meters over the Yantra River, connecting the central district with Sveta Gora hill at 160 meters above sea level.
Italian architect Giovanni Musutti designed the bridge in 1892, while the Viennese company Rudolph Philipp Wagner manufactured the metal structure for construction.
The bridge stands as a memorial to Stefan Stambolov, a prominent Bulgarian statesman who contributed to the development of Veliko Tarnovo.
The structure serves pedestrians exclusively, providing a direct path between the city center, railway station, and Veliko Tarnovo University.
In 1932, pilot Petko Popganchev executed a remarkable flight under the bridge arch with his DAR 7 aircraft, marking a notable aviation achievement.
