The first stone bridge to be constructed in the Baltic States was erected in the 18th century at one end of the Town Hall Square in Tartu, with two triumphal arches and a raisable mid-section. Dedicated to Russian empress Catherine II, it was opened to traffic in 1784. The bridge was destroyed during World War II. All that remains to admire is the 2004 model of the bridge (created by Tiiu Kirsipuu).

Its just a plain olde bridge you say?

Or is it? Check closely, the modern bridge is built on the columns of the old bridge witch was destroyed during ww2. There is a small model of the old bridge.

Good statue by river

This statue is in a nice place by the river,and next to the main road,and shopping centre. When it's warm outside you can visit it much better,than in winter,and that you can sit near it too,as it's...
