Completed in 1849, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary and is named after István Széchenyi, a prominent Hungarian statesman who played a crucial role in its construction. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and constructed under the supervision of Scottish engineer Adam Clark, the bridge features striking stone lion statues at each end and is renowned for its architectural elegance.
