Dating back to 1859, The Bridge of Lies is a cornerstone of Sibiu’s architectural heritage and the first cast-iron bridge ever built in Romania. This pedestrian walkway serves as a vital link between the historic Little Square and Huet Square, featuring elegant Neo-Gothic details and the city's coat of arms. Beyond its structural beauty, the bridge is shrouded in local legends, most notably the claim that it will groan or collapse if a visitor tells a lie while standing upon it. It remains one of the most photographed spots in Transylvania, offering travelers a perfect vantage point to look down upon the winding streets of the lower town.
