The place, as I understand it, is unique. Polotsk began with it, but it is so modest that it is difficult to see the source of this great place in this modesty. But Belarus is all like that, modest, without too much pomp, but very sincere
The bridge is heavily hung with lovers' castles, only the number of divorces says that locks obviously do not help. Or maybe they don't help because they're being cut down!🙂😁👹
The bridge is like a bridge. New building. Nothing interesting. But this place is important and iconic. You definitely need to know about the events that took place there in 1812.
An interesting historical place. There were fierce battles here, troops from St. Petersburg helped to expel Napoleon and his army from Polotsk, a lot of blood was shed in this place, for which the bridge was named Krasny. There is a stone and a commemorative plaque with a historical reference in Russian near the bridge.
A bridge with a great history. Walking through it, you feel that something was here, although it is. A place where everyone walks, and which is worth seeing and visiting
A small bridge, but with a great history. The Red Bridge!!! Fully fulfills its function 100%. It plays a big role in Polotsk. P. S. Once watched a large flock of HARES running across the bridge. 😁👍
A beautiful bridge, a historical place, near the Ivan the Terrible shaft, is often visited by healing card games. It could have been even better decorated.
The Red bridge over the Polota River. One of the attractions of Polotsk, which must be visited. There is a memorial sign in front of the bridge with a description of the events that took place earlier on it.
The symbol of the city is a historical place of 1812

A bridge with a history across the Polota River. "Red" because a lot of blood was shed in the battle of Russian troops with the French in the war of 1812. As a result, Polotsk was liberated!!!
In the historical center, above the river that gave the city its name, ducks swim in spring, when the flood is very beautiful, in summer it is green, adjacent to the so-called Ivan the Terrible Shaft
For me, as a resident of Polotsk, the bridge is like a bridge. The road is good, the sidewalk is too, there is a children's clinic nearby, a good view opens from the bridge
If you do not know that the bridge was made of wood and there was a bloody battle on it, you will pass and you will not understand anything. The bridge is recreated, made of concrete, you can't take money from tourists - no one is doing it.
A favorite place for all newlyweds. Here, to the railing of the bridge, the young people fasten the locks of loyalty to their soulmate. There is always a procession on the Red Bridge dedicated to St. Euphrosyne.
