Krvavi Most ("The Bloody Bridge") is a street in the heart of Zagreb, Croatia. It is named after the former bridge over Medveščak creek, which was rendered useless after the covering of the creek. Although the bridge became the street, the name stayed because of historical reasons – as a reminder of history and a witness of Zagreb's rich past.
The bridge gained its scary name because of the constant conflicts happening on its wooden beams between the citizens of the two parts of Zagreb: Gradec and present day Kaptol.
