Cobbler's Bridge is also one of the oldest bridge in Ljubljana. This bridge helped the shoemakers and traders to avoid paying the city's taxes charged only on one side of the river . So, instead of crossing the river to sell their products (and pay taxes), they settled on the other side. The bridge made easier for everybody as people could buy their merchant and sellers could sell. Well, not so much for government, though. Actually, you can still see the oldest shoemaker shop right in the entrance of the bridge.
