The Ha'penny Bridge is Dublin's most photographed landmark — a graceful cast-iron pedestrian bridge spanning the River Liffey since 1816. Its official name is the Liffey Bridge, but Dubliners named it for the halfpenny toll once charged to cross.
Built in 1816 by John Windsor, the bridge replaced a ferry service. The halfpenny toll was abolished in 1919. A full restoration in 2001 repaired structural ironwork and repainted it in off-white.
