Situated above the banks of the pristine Soča river, Napoleon's Bridge has a long-standing history dating back to 1750. This bridge was blown up by Austrian soldiers during the First World War and was then replaced by a wooden bridge followed by an iron bridge. During the 18th century, Napoleon's armies marched at the end of the bridge and hence it has been so named. During your visit, you can enjoy picturesque views of the Soča river which is a true treat to the eye.

Located on the beautiful blue Soca river, the Solkan bridge is an important architectural landmark in the region and perhaps all of Slovenia due to the large span of its central arch which makes it the world's longest bridge made from stone. The 219.7 metre (721 feet) long bridge was built in 1905 from designs by engineer Leopold Örley and architect Rudolf Jaussner and constructed by the Brüder Redlich und Berger company. It suffered heavy damage in World War I by attacks from the Austrian army and was repaired with funds donated by the Italian government in 1937. Although it has undergone numerous restorations since then, it retains much of its original structure and is currently used as a train bridge by local railway companies.
