Pedestrian Bridge in Plovdiv, Pedestrian bridge over Maritsa River in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The covered footbridge spans 182 meters in length and 16 meters in width, connecting the main street to the Karshiaka neighborhood.

The current structure replaced the original 15th-century bridge, which Ottoman forces destroyed during their retreat from Plovdiv in January 1878.

The bridge stands as the second covered pedestrian crossing in Bulgaria, following the architectural example set by master Nikola Fitcheto in Lovech.

The structure contains multiple shops selling clothes and shoes while providing a direct route between Novotel Plovdiv and the city center.

The bridge underwent reconstruction in the 1980s, maintaining its original design elements at both northern and southern approaches.
