Butcher's Bridge: A Testament to Love

The bridge connects the city's historical center with lively cafes and marketplaces. Its bronze sculptures depict butcher figures, paying homage to the area's history as a meat market. Hundreds of love padlocks attached by visitors symbolize enduring affection.
