A historic bridge west of Arapgir that crosses a deep canyon on a high cut-stone arch, notable for its style differing from Ottoman bridges.

Safety warning

It is on rural, steep terrain; the bridge may have no railings, so stay away from the edges. Check the road conditions locally before visiting.

Its story

The bridge, about 150 km from central Malatya and about 30 km from Arapgir, joins the two sides of a deep canyon with high cut-stone arches; its western side is surrounded by steep cliffs. Its architectural style differs from Ottoman bridges, and it is thought to date from the Late Roman period; however, the dates given in promotional sources contradict each other, so its exact construction period is uncertain. Together with the nearby Taşköprü fairy chimney formations, it offers natural and historic scenery in the same frame.
