Stone Bridge, Monument bridge in Škofja Loka, Slovenia.

Stone Bridge is a medieval stone arch bridge over the Selška Sora on the north side of Škofja Loka's old town, leading toward Stara Loka. A pair of metal cantilever beams widen its edges and carry an ornamental wrought-iron railing, and at mid-span stands a statue of St John of Nepomuk on a pedestal bearing the town coat of arms.

The bridge was built in the mid-14th century under Leopold, Bishop of Freising, whose feudal domain held Škofja Loka; boatmen had previously ferried people across the Selška Sora. It formed part of the town's defences at the northern gate, with a defensive tower beside it. In 1888 it was widened by builder Anton Lončarič to plans by engineer Anton Žužek, at a cost of 3,300 gold coins, and was then named after Emperor Franz Joseph. It survived both world wars undamaged; a reinforced concrete deck was added in 1974.

Locals call it Kapucinski most after the Capuchin monastery and church of St. Anne nearby; the name Kamniti most simply means Stone Bridge. The statue of St. John Nepomuk, patron of bridges and floods, was paid for by voluntary donations of townspeople and placed on the span in 1892, on a pedestal bearing the town coat of arms.

The bridge is freely accessible and easy to cross on foot without special preparation. Nearby shops, cafes, and parking areas make it convenient for visitors to explore the surrounding town.

The bridge was unharmed in both World Wars, so its medieval design survived intact. In 1888 Anton Lončarič widened it under engineer Anton Žužek's plans for 3,300 gold coins, and the 1892 statue of St John of Nepomuk was paid for by voluntary donations from locals. Look for the town coat of arms on the statue's pedestal.
