Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising-UFO Bridge
Most SNP is a road bridge over the Danube river in Bratislava. It is the world's longest bridge to have one pylon and one cable-stayed plane.
Since its construction in 1972 the bridge was called Most SNP ("Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising"), although locally it was called New Bridge or UFO bridge. A special attraction and reason for this name is its flying saucer-like shape structure atop the bridge's 84.6 m (278 ft) pylon, housing an observation deck and a restaurant.
The bridge belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers, being the 28th and lowest building of this association and at the same time the only building of this association that serves as the pylon of the bridge. On May 16, 2018, the bridge was declared a national cultural monument.
