Bridge of Palanga

The structure Bridge of Palanga is a sea bridge on the Baltic Sea in Palanga, Lithuania, and the site of a spa town. It ranks second in the list of most beautiful historical sites in Lithuania. In 1589, the English of King Sigis2 were granted the privilege to improve the harbor and erected the Palanga pier. The Gediminas Tower, the sole remaining tower from these fortresses, is likewise housed at the National Museum.

Count Juozapas Tikeviius organized the pier's rebuilding in 1882. They were primarily utilized for the export of bricks, for which a tram was built to convey them to the port of Palanga. During the summer, the pier doubled as a promenade. They erected balconies to shield themselves from the rain. Since 1892, the bridge has only been used by pedestrians. The bridge hosted the debut of Keturakis's first Lithuanian play "Amerika in Dampfbad" (lit. Amerika party) in August 1899.

A gem of Palanga's beach! You must proceed to the bridge's end and toss a coin into the water. This is for your good fortune! This was taught to me by family and locals many years ago. I was a tiny child when we used to go to Palanga for vacations every summer. Bridge of Palanga offers a spectacular view of the lake and the beach. There is a place near the bridge's curve that is good for fishing. If you walk to the finish, you'll get some great shots of Palanga. It's also a fantastic spot to see the sunset.
