The Elisabeta Bridge allows pedestrians to cross the Someșul Mic River. The iron bridge is 35 meters long and one and a half meters wide. The idea of building a bridge here to connect the citadel with the lower part of the city existed as early as 1800, but it was not realized then.

In 1899, the city of Cluj wanted to commemorate the death of the Austrian Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"), who had been murdered in Geneva shortly before by the anarchist Luigi Lucheni. It was decided to build a promenade on the Cetățuia Hill in memory of the Empress, with an associated bridge from the city center. The cult of Empress Elisabeth was widespread in Austria-Hungary at that time. The city's chief architect Laios Pákei planned the promenade, avenues were laid out, trees were planted and in 1901 a bust of the Empress was erected, designed by the Hungarian sculptor Alajos Strobl.
