The Old Bridge ( Slovene: Stari most), also named the State Bridge (Državni most), the Main Bridge (Glavni most), and the Drava Bridge (Dravski most), is a bridge crossing the Drava River in Maribor, northeastern Slovenia. It links Main Square (Glavni trg) and Pobrežje Street (Pobreška cesta) and is 270 metres (890 ft) long. [1] Its central part, spanning the Drava, is 166 m (545 ft) long and has three steel arches.

The bridge was completed in 1913 [2] [3] and opened to traffic on 23 August of that year. [1] During World War II, it was damaged and later partially rebuilt. [1] The last renovations took place in 1990 and 1998. [1]
