Stone Bridge (Estonian: Kivisild) was a bridge in Tartu, Estonia.[1] The bridge was opened on 16 September 1784. The bridge was built on the orders of Empress Catherine II of Russia.[1] The bridge was destroyed during WWII in 1941.[2] Today, Kaarsild stands where the bridge used to be. There are plans to restore the bridge to its original glory.[3]
