Sažetak
Main challenge during design of an attractive bridge is that its structure usually needs to appeal to three types of viewer – engineers, architects and the general public. Each of these groups has a different understanding of structures. However, there are numerous examples of fine bridge engineering at which all three groups can agree about functionality and beauty of structure and, many of them are arch bridges. According to the lists of the most popular bridges, created by general public ; the historic bridges inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and the structures admired by engineers, it can be concluded that arch bridges are considered as the most attractive bridge type from ancient aqueducts to the contemporary structures. Arch bridges in Croatia, shortly presented in the paper, are according to their structural, aesthetic or functional characteristics among the World top achievements of their time.
