It is the first cast iron bridge built in Romania and the second one built in Europe.Located in the Lesser Square of Sibiu, the bridge crosses Strada Ocnei to connect the Lesser Square to the Huet Square. The bridge is sustained by four arches made of cast iron. They are decorated with Neo-Gothic motives. On the southernmost arch stands the coat of arms of Sibiu, while on the northernmost one stand the inscriptions 1859 and Friedrichshütte respectively, the latter being the name of the foundry that delivered a part of the bridge`s components. The rails are made out of eight panels with circular shapes and Gothic decorations. Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania
