Hi everyone,
Some two weeks ago, I informed you about that fact that Prague could lose one of its famous bridges in this post.
A renowned Cubist masterpiece, the Liben Bridge was in a very bad condition and the Prague authorities were about to decide whether the bridge would be reconstructed or torn down.
Sadly, the authorities just decided to demolish the bridge and replace it with a new, similar bridge at a cost of more than 500 million CZK (20 million EUR / 25 million USD).
Measuring 780 m (2,560 ft), the Liben Bridge was the longest bridge in Prague and one of the oldest and most important Cubist bridges in the world. Built in 1928, the bridge connected Prague neighborhoods Liben and Holesovice.
Because of the great cultural and historical significance of the bridge, massive demonstrations against the demolition are expected to take place on and around the old bridge.
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.
Prague ranked as the world´s 8th most popular meeting city!
