A 2nd-century Roman bridge, still in use, crossing the Kocaçay near the Temple of Zeus.

Its story

The bridge is one of the ancient bridges over the Penkalas (Kocaçay) flowing through Aizanoi and dates to the 2nd century AD. Because of its proximity to the Temple of Zeus and its direct connection to the Roman road toward Kütahya, it was regarded as the city's most important crossing point. Its arches and stone parapets are still on the villagers' everyday routes today.
