Kuradisild is one of the few remaining concrete bridges built in early 20th century. It is one of the symbols and landmarks of Tartu alongside Inglisild ("Angel's Bridge") located on the other side of Toomemägi hill. The bridge is supported by two arches. Its massive parapet is decorated with ornamental panels and seating recesses.
