Bridging The Gap - Finale

Back to the Ljubljanica and probably the most famous bridge crossing it. The Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) is one of the best known Plečnik's work. He replaced the existing bridge leading from Prešeren Square to Town Square, and more than that - he constructed three bridges instead of one. The central bridge was intended for the vehicles and the side ones for the pedestrians.

The view from Dragon Bridge. The structure to the left of the picture is The Market - another of Plečnik's masterpieces which spans from Dragon Bridge to Triple Bridge.



The view from the footbridge toward the other side of the Triple Bridge.


A view across Prešeren Square showing one of the side bridges.


Another view, this time showing the central part. The area has been recently closed to traffic and is now a pedestrian zone.


So, this brings another photo challenge to a close. Thank you, Alice. It has been more entertaining than I thought.

I have definitely enjoyed visiting here during this challenge. Your city is lovely the bridges seem to highlight that. I see you saved the best for last. This one is amazing. I would like to come and see it some day.

Lovely indeed!
I love the market as much as the bridges!

Are you doing Jientje's door challenge next week? I have a feeling from what I've seen here this week that there are probably gorgeous doors here as well!
Think about it.
