History
The oldest cast iron bridge in present day Romania. The Liegende Brücke, or Lying Bridge, was built in 1859 to replace a wooden bridge. The wooden bridge was called the Liars' Bridge because of the lies and tall tales of the market-women who sold their goods in the area. On one side is the year of construction, on the other the Saxon coat of arms. A crown above two crossed swords indicates that the Saxons recognised the sovereignty of the Hungarian king.
