The Butchers' Bridge ((スロベニア語:Mesarski most)) is a footbridge crossing the river Ljubljanica in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It connects the Ljubljana Central Market and the Petkovšek Embankment ().〔 The bridge was solemnly opened on 10 July 2010. The original idea for a bridge on the site was expressed in the 1930s by the architect Jože Plečnik. The modern bridge, which is far more simple than the original plan, features a staircase at its left entry, a glass walking belts at the sides, and two fences with steel wires and wide top shelves. It was designed by Jurij Kobe from the Atelier Arhitekti studio. It is decorated with works by the sculptor Jakov Brdar.〔 ==Sculptures== The largest sculptures on the bridge represent figures from Ancient Greek and Christian/Jewish mythology: *Adam and Eve, shamed and banished from Paradise, after having been induced by the Serpent to taste from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (they are walking towards Ljubljana Cathedral) *Satyr, startled by the Serpent *Prometheus, running and disemboweled, in punishment for having given knowledge (of fire) to mankind There are also some smaller grotesque sculptures of frogs and shellfish on the top of the bridge's fence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Butchers' Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
