Kaluga Stone brige, Stone viaduct in Kaluga, Russia
The Kaluga Stone Bridge is a stone viaduct spanning 160 meters with fifteen large arches and reaching approximately 20 meters in height. Its structure features three two-story sections in the center that define its appearance.
The viaduct was built between 1777 and 1780 by architect Peter Romanovich Nikitin, incorporating design elements inspired by ancient Roman engineering. These techniques connected classical European building traditions to the local needs of the region.
The bridge serves as a favorite spot for wedding photography, where newlyweds gather to capture moments against its classical stonework.
The bridge is easily accessible on foot from the city center by heading toward Bazhenov Street. It is best visited during daylight hours to fully appreciate the stone details and arches.
The structure was modified in 1910 to accommodate automobiles, with its original horse-drawn transport surface replaced by concrete paving. This adaptation shows how the structure evolved to meet modern transportation needs.
