Added by Alain Martineau
General Description The Chain Bridge was the first permanent stone-bridge connecting Pest and Buda, and only the second permanent crossing on the whole length of the river Danube. It is one of the symbolic buildings of Budapest, the most widely known bridge of the Hungarian capital.
The iron chains, on which the road-bed hangs, are held by two 48-meter river piers in classicist style. From here comes the name "Chain Bridge". The chain-links have been made of iron plates.
The stone lions situated at both abutments have been carved by sculptor János Marschalkó. These, however, took their allotted places only in 1852.
