The Trnovo Bridge. The plaques read Trnovu 'to Trnovo' (left) and Krakovu 'to Krakovo' (right).

The Trnovo Bridge (Slovene: Trnovski most) is a bridge crossing the Gradaščica River in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It connects the neighborhoods of Krakovo and Trnovo.

A bridge has stood on the site since the late 17th century; the current one was built by the architect Jože Plečnik between 1928 and 1932, and was meant to serve as a public space in front of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Trnovo, accounting for its unusual width of 20 m. Each corner of the bridge is capped with a small pyramid, a signature motif of Plečnik's, while the mid-span features a pair of Art-Deco male sculptures. Two rows of birches divide the pedestrian and vehicle lanes; it is claimed that this is the only (non-derelict) bridge in Europe with live trees.
