History has it that a family tragedy inspired the construction of the bridge: the unfortunate count was unable to cross the Danube to be with his father before he passed away &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Count Sz\u00e9chenyi spared no effort to bring his project to life. He traveled to England to meet famous civil engineers William Tierney Clark and Thomas Telford, to whom he submitted his project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the construction of the bridge was entrusted to William Tierney Clark. Construction works began in 1839 under the supervision of Scottish engineer Adam Clark (who was not related to William Tierney Clark!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building the bridge took 10 years and fascinated the entire community of European civil engineers: the Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge was one of the most ambitious projects of its time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge was finally inaugurated in 1849.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group encadre\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udd81 The legend of the lions of the Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge \ud83e\udd81<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mks_separator\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the entrance to the bridge, on each side, two lion statues stand guard. According to legend, when the statues were revealed to the general public, sculptor J\u00e1nos Marschalk\u00f3 became the laughing stock of all Budapest\u2026 According to the inhabitants, he had forgotten to sculpt the lions&#8217; tongues. Desperate, the artist is said to have thrown himself into the Danube from the bridge &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does the truth lie? No one knows.

The bridge was rebuilt as soon as the war ended and reopened on its hundredth anniversary: November 20, 1949.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Chain Bridge has become an emblem of Budapest. Since 2009, 200 Hungarian forints coins have an effigy of the bridge on the obverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brief description of the Budapest Chain Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Budapest&#8217;s Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge is a chain suspension bridge. The bridge is 375 metres (1,230 ft) and 14.8 metres (49 ft) wide, with a centre span of 202 metres. The centre span rests on two towers, connected to the banks of the river by enormous chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bridge is made of iron and stone, and decorated with bas-reliefs representing the Hungarian and the Sz\u00e9chenyi coats of arms. The entrance to the bridge is watched over by gigantic statues of lions designed by sculptor J\u00e1nos Marschalk\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The view on the Chain Bridge from the banks of the river is particularly spectacular at night, when the bridge is illuminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group encadre\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udd29 The view on the Chain Bridge from the River Danube \ud83e\udd29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mks_separator\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As an accomplished sailor, Captain Ulysses can only encourage you to set sail whenever you have the chance!
