Description

The Ha'penny Bridge is a historic pedestrian crossing over the River Liffey in Dublin, built in 1816. Made of cast iron, with an elegant arched design, it is an iconic symbol of the city.

Originally called Wellington Bridge, it gained its popular name from the halfpenny toll charged for crossing until 1919.

It's the perfect spot for photos with its distinctive historic lanterns. The bridge connects the Temple Bar district to North Quays, providing a scenic stroll through Dublin's top attractions.

avatarMalik SAin the last weekLot of bridges in the same area, but each looks different Opened in May 1816, the bridge originally named Wellington Bridge after the Duke of Wellington (born in Dublin). It replaced a fleet of seven ferries operated by William Walsh after local officials demanded either repairs or a bridge 🛶 . • Constructed from cast iron, with its components cast at the Coalbrookdale foundry in Shropshire and shipped to Dublin for assembly under the supervision of John Windsor
avatarDr. RLa month agoThis is a really cool bridge. It is iconic for a reason because it has cool architecture and great views. We saw a beautiful white swan in the water as we walked over it.
avatarSacha Paquet4 months agoThis 200 year old iron Bridge, Crossing over the Liffey River, is just a marvelous infrastructure and a marvel of its time. It is all lit up at night which makes it even more beautiful. A must see on your walk about in this area of the city.
