St. Peter's Bridge (Slovene: Šempetrski most or Šentpetrski most,[1] in older sources also Šent Peterski most[2] or Šentpeterski most[3]), also Ambrož Bridge (Ambrožev most),[4] is a bridge in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, that crosses the river Ljubljanica in the northeastern end of the old town. It is a continuation of Rozman Street (Rozmanova ulica).[5] West of it lie Vraz Square (Vrazov trg) on the northern (left) bank of the river and Ambrož Square (Ambrožev trg) on its southern (right) bank.[6][7] East of it lies the Petkovšek Embankment (Petkovškovo nabrežje) on the northern bank[8] and the Poljane Embankment (Poljansko nabrežje) on the southern bank.[9] The bridge is named after the nearby St. Peter's Church.[4] It is intended primarily for motorised traffic, but is also used by pedestrians.[10]
