The Dragon Bridge, built in 1901, was one of the first reinforced concrete bridges in Europe. Four large bronze dragons guard its corners, each with a wingspan of several metres. The bridge spans the Ljubljanica one block north of the Triple Bridge and is best photographed from the bank below.
The dragons have become the symbol of the city. The bridge is part of a short riverside walk along the left bank, passing the outdoor market, the cathedral, and the Butchers' Bridge before looping back across the Triple Bridge.
