Review:
The central bridge of the Triple Bridge was built in 1842. It replaced a medieval wooden bridge that linked northwestern Europe to southeastern Europe and the Balkans. By the 1920s the new bridge had become a bottleneck and itself a candidate for replacement. Instead, architect Jože Plecnik, designed additional bridges, one on either side, to carry the pedestrian load. He unified the bridges by removing the metal railings from the central bridge and adorning all three bridges with lamps and a total of 642 balustrades. All three bridges are now part of Ljubljana's pedestrian zone. A model of the Triple Bridge can be seen in Mini Europe in Brussels.
