Links Gellert Hill and March 15 Square
Elisabeth Bridge is the second most important bridge in Budapest, after the Chain Bridge. It was originally built between 1897 and 1903 but was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt between 1961 and 1964 by Pal Savoly. It originally had tram tracks but they removed them after stress fractures began to appear on the bridge.
The bridge links Gellert Hill on the Buda side with March 15th Square on the Pest side, the same square where you’ll find the Inner-City Parish Church, a church originally built in the 12th century that was used by the Ottomans as a mosque and finally rebuilt in the 1700’s in the Baroque style.
