Blauwbrug, Blue BridgeNetherlands, Amsterdam
The Blue Bridge is a historic bridge across the Amstel River (bridge number 236). It connects Rembrandt Square with Waterloo Square.
The bridge takes its name from the wooden Blue Bridge painted in the color of the national Dutch flag, which has been on this site since about 1600. The stone bridge has three passages for ships and is richly decorated. The pillars (bulls) are designed in the form of ship prows, and the columns on the bridge are crowned with the crown of the Austrian Empire. The supports of the lanterns, also topped with crowns, are stylized as ships.
