Belenski most

The Belenski most (Беленски мост) or Byala Bridge is an arch bridge over the Yantra River in northern Bulgaria, 1 km from the town of Byala in Ruse Province, whose name it carries.

It is regarded as one of the prominent achievements of Bulgarian National Revival engineering and architecture.

The bridge was constructed between 1865 and 1867 by Bulgarian architect and master builder Kolyu Ficheto on the order of Turkish statesman Midhat Pasha, when Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire.

[2] It is 276 m long and 6 m wide, has 14 arches each with a clearance of 12 m and decorated with relief images of animals.

It was reconstructed between 1922 and 1923 with reinforced concrete props and arches, but its initial appearance was not altered.

New bridge is built next to old one.
