Krvavi Most

Krvavi Most

Krvavi most(lit. "Bloody Bridge" ) is a street in the heart ofZagreb,capital ofCroatia.It is named after the former bridge over theMedveščak creek,which was rendered useless after the covering of the creek. Although the bridge became the street, the name stayed because of historical reasons – as a reminder of history and a witness ofZagreb's past.

The bridge gained its name because of the constant conflicts happening on its wooden beams between the citizens of the two parts of Zagreb:Gradecand present dayKaptol.
