Szabadsag hid, more popularly known as Freedom Bridge or Liberty Bridge, was constructed in the 1890s and was originally called the Franz Joseph Bridge. The bridge proudly spans the River Danube and connects visitors from Buda to Pest. Both sides of Liberty Bridge end in public squares: One on Gellert Hill and the other by the Great Market Hall. The bridge is 333.6 meters long and visitors can see four large bronze statues of the Turul on top of the masts of the bridge; a Turul is a falcon-like bird popular in Hungarian mythology.
