St. Peter's Bridge

[5] West of it lie Vraz Square (Vrazov trg) on the northern (left) bank of the river and Ambrož Square (Ambrožev trg) on its southern (right) bank.

[11] According to a legend, unconfirmed by historical sources, Bishop Thomas Chrön (1560–1630) led a procession of the Blessed Sacrament across the footbridge, guarded from the Lutherans by the blacksmiths of Ljubljana.

[14] It was built to link St. Peter's Barracks north of the river and the Poljane residential district south of it.

[5] There were actually two bridges, the wider one used by draft animals and the narrower one by pedestrians, and from the beginning of the 20th century, by the Ljubljana tram.

[14] The construction of the present iron and concrete bridge started at the beginning of the 20th century.

St. Peter's Bridge links the residential districts of Šempeter and Poljane.
