The Eiffel Bridge
At the place of the former Eiffel Bridge there is now a concrete pedestrian bridge, built in 1971. Some ornaments of the former bridge can still be seen within the area of the "Begej" shipyard. Memory of the famous bridge is retained in a song "Bečkerečka ćuprija" ("The Bridge of Bečkerek") from the early 20th century, where it is said that the bridge is "as tight as a box". "Four fat horses" mentioned in the song are depicted on a mural at the main city's boulevard.
