Summary

Description
English: The Szabadság híd or Liberty Bridge connects Buda and Pest across the River Danube. Statue of Liberty is on the hill in the background.

The bridge was built between 1894 and 1896. Although radically different, the bridge imitates the general outline of a chain-type bridge, which was considered an aesthetically preferable form at the time of construction. The bridge was opened in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph; the last silver rivet on the Pest abutment was inserted into the iron structure by the Emperor himself, and the bridge was originally named after him.

It is 333.6 m (1,093 ft) in length and 20.1 m (66 ft) in width. The top of the four masts are decorated with large bronze statues of the Turul, a falcon-like bird, prominent in ancient Hungarian mythology.
