Leylekli (Yılanlı) Bridge
Niksar, Tokat
A single-arched historic bridge over the Çanakçı Deresi, known for the relief on its keystone of a stork holding a snake in its beak.
Its story
The bridge is dated to the Roman period and crosses the Çanakçı Deresi with a single semicircular arch. The relief on its keystone of a stork holding a snake in its beak earned it both the names Leylekli (Stork) and Yılanlı (Snake). It is beside the Arasta Mosque, within the historic fabric at the foot of the castle.
