Linking two halves of the Small Square is Romania’s oldest iron bridge.
The Bridge of Lies was cast in 1859 and soon became another emblem for Sibiu.
It got its memorable name by a quirk of language because in German the words for “to lie” and “to lie (tell untruths)” are similar.
The bridge was called the “Lying Bridge” as it has no standing supports and instead rests on two embankments.
