Most Kamienny, Kalisz

Stone Bridge - a road bridge over the Prozna River in Kalisz, in the course of Śródmiejska Street, located on the border between Śródmieście I and Śródmieście II; a classicist bridge, built from March 1824 to August 1825 under the direction of Franciszek Reinstein, and designed by Sylwester Szpilowski. It has iron balustrades and a cobblestone surface; the traffic on it is one-way towards the town hall. The plaque's pedestal bears Kalisz's coat of arms and Latin inscriptions commemorating the construction, which read in Polish: The citizens of Kalisz wish that this bridge erected at the public expense of the city, begun in March 1824, and completed in August 1825 under the name of the most excellent Alexander I, emperor and king, father of the fatherland and protector of this city, be a witness for posterity of their gratitude and attachment. In the past there was a drawbridge in its place. Listed in the register of historical monuments in 1964, it is the oldest existing bridge in Kalisz.
