Address:
Kisses Bridge
The name of the bridge was given by the surname of the merchant Potseluyev, the owner of the nearby drinking establishment “Kiss”.
Since 1738, there was a wooden pedestrian drawbridge here, painted in different colors, and called Tsvetnoy.
In 1768, the bridge was rebuilt for transport passage.
At the same time, it became 3-span with stone supports. In 1816, a cast-iron, single-span, arched bridge was built on this site according to the design of engineer and architect V. I. Geste. The metal structures of the bridge were manufactured at the Ural factories of N. N. Demidov. Granite obelisks with lanterns were installed at the entrances to the bridge.
