Halfpenny Bridge

Puente peatonal de hierro fundido, uno de los símbolos de Dublín.

Description of the place

The Ha'penny Bridge is one of Dublin's most recognizable icons. Opened in 1816, it was the first pedestrian bridge built in the city to span the River Liffey.

Its name comes from the halfpenny toll (halfpenny) that pedestrians had to pay to cross in its early years. Before its construction, a company ferried people across the river on barges.

Today, it is a symbol of Dublin and one of the most photographed places by locals and tourists.

📌 Fun fact: The bridge was designed and built by Harland & Wolff… the same company that would later design the Titanic!
