The Queens Bridge in Belfast is one of four bridges in the city. It was built and opened in the year 1849 by Queen Victoria and it replaced the Long Bridge. Many versions of the Long Bridge were destroyed during the eighteenth century and nineteenth century, and a more permanent structure was necessary.
The solid piece of Victorian engineering, named in honour of Queen Victoria still spans the Lagan linking Belfast city centre with the industrial areas of the city, including what's now known as the Titanic Quarter.
From the bridge the Waterfront Hall can be seen, a modern concert hall and exhibition centre, designed by local architecture firm Robinson McIlwaine. In 2002, the hall was voted the second best conference centre in the world in the Apex Awards.
Just around the corner from the Queen’s Bridge is a modern female sculpture on Thanksgiving Square.
