Dromana Bridge & Hindu/Gothic Arch
Dromana Bridge & Hindu/Gothic Arch
Dromana Bridge is an extraordinary Hindu-Gothic gateway. It was built in 1849 by Lord Stuart de Decies. Local tradition maintains that the arch was put up as a temporary structure to welcome home a honeymoon couple, who were so taken with it that they had it made permanent.
