The Stambolov Bridge (Template:Lang-bg, Stambolovya most) is, as the name suggests, a bridge in the town of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. [1]
Belgian, Italian, Bulgarian specialists and Bulgarian workers took part in the construction.[2] In May 24, 1932 the legendary Bulgarian pilot Petko Popganchev passes by DAR 7 plane under the bridge without crashing. This caused a real sensation in the town.[3]
