THE BEST OF CHRISTCHURCH
I VISITED NZ’S FAMOUS BRIDGE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE ONE IN PARIS!
The Bridge of Remembrance in Christchurch, New Zealand, is a significant war memorial that honors those who served in World War I and subsequent conflicts. Constructed in 1923, the elegant stone archway spans the Avon River at the entrance to the city's central business district. Designed by architect W.H. Gummer, the bridge features classical elements, including a triumphal arch and decorative carvings that symbolize peace and sacrifice. It has become an iconic landmark, serving as a focal point for ANZAC Day commemorations and other remembrance events.
