The Bridge of Lies
The Bridge of Lies is one of the most famous landmarks in the city. The bridge, made in 1859 in Friedrichshütte in Hesse, took the place of an older wooden bridge and is the first cast-iron bridge in what is now Romania. Because it was also the first bridge not to stand on pillars, it was called the “Liegebrücke”. It wasn’t far from “lying” to “lying”, so it was soon given the name “Bridge of Lies”, and various legends about the naming arose.
