Its story
Büyük Agonya Bridge is a historic stone bridge crossing the Agonya Çayı (Agonya Stream) within the bounds of Bayatlar village in Yenice. Although local stories link the bridge to Alexander the Great's passage through the region, its construction date is uncertain, and the bridge has been repaired many times over the centuries.
