Bridge, Tribunj

The bridge in Tribunj connects the old part of the settlement, located on a small island, with the mainland. It is located in the municipality of Tribunj in Šibenik-Knin County and is the first sight that awaits a visitor on entering the town.

The bridge was built in the 18th century, is about 24 metres long and about 4 metres wide. In the middle it has a vaulted arch over the sea. The body is built of irregular stone in the dry-stone technique, while the arch is made of roughly dressed stone bound with mortar. On the north side a stone wall has been placed that serves as protection from the wind. This enclosing wall was once higher, and a bench for sitting was built against it. On both sides of the bridge there are stone brackets with holes for tying up small boats.

The bridge is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-4656. It belongs to secular architectural heritage.
