- The Stone Bridge next to the Tower, built in 1848.

3^rd right heraldic field - a fantastic animal in yellow, holding two white tools (brush and chisel), symbolizing human pursuit of the Devine in the works of the Tryavna icon-painters and wood-carvers, blue background;
4^th left heraldic field – yellow (gold) lion, symbolizing the dignified and public-spirited people of Tryavna.
The big part comprises the following elements:
