The bridge was the first permanent crossing over the Danube in Budapest, pivotal in the city's unification. It features two 48-meter-tall stone towers and was considered an engineering marvel at its completion. Accessible to pedestrians and vehicles, the bridge underwent major renovations in the late 20th century to preserve its structure.
