Pitkäsilta, Stone arch bridge in Kluuvi, Finland
The 75-meter Pitkäsilta bridge spans across Kaisaniemi Bay, connecting the districts of Kruununhaka and Siltasaari through three granite arches.
Built in 1912 by architect Runar Eklund, this bridge replaced four wooden structures that had stood at this location since 1651.
The bridge marks a physical boundary between the central business district and traditional working-class neighborhoods, reflecting historical social divisions in Helsinki.
The structure accommodates multiple forms of transportation, including cars, trams, bicycles, and pedestrians, linking central Helsinki with northeastern districts.
The structure retains visible marks from both the 1918 Finnish Civil War and World War II bombardments, serving as a physical record of historical events.
