Built for the Millennium celebrations in 1894-1896, the Liberty Bridge is 333.6 m long, and
20.1 m wide. It was originally called Franz Joseph Bridge. At the inauguration ceremony,
the King personally hammered the last silver nail into the iron structure on the Pest side.
The projecting central towers are decorated with Hungary's coat of arms. A major sight on
each end: the Grand Market Hall and the Gellert Hill.
