| Turul Birds on both top of the bridge |
'Turul' bird are the mythical bird of Hungary, on top of the bridge’s pillars. Liberty is the shortest bridge in Budapest, the Liberty Bridge spans the Danube river between Gellért tér and Fővám tér, and was built between 1894 and 1896. Opened in the year of the Millennium, this bridge was officially completed when Emperor Franz Joseph inserted the last silver rivet into its iron structure. During the 2007-2009 complete reconstruction, all war damages of shape were repaired, added to the complete structure-reconstruction water discharge pipes held by the bridge were replaced, and noise and impulse-absorbing tramways were rebuilt.
