It connects the old city core on the left side of the Krka River with Kandija, a historical suburb of Novo Mesto, on its right side.[1] The bridge stands at the lower part of Main Square.[1] It was built in 1898 to replace the old wooden bridge from 1600, located a few dozen metres upstream.[1] The opening took place on 23 November 1898.
