Taşköprü, Roman arch bridge in Silifke, Turkey
The limestone bridge extends 120 meters across the Göksu River with seven arches, including one that spans 17.4 meters in width.
Built between 77-78 CE under Emperor Vespasian and his sons, the bridge was commissioned by Roman governor L. Octavius Memor for regional connectivity.
The structure combines Roman and Ottoman architectural elements, with three original Roman arches and four later Ottoman additions reflecting different construction periods.
Located in central Silifke on İlhan Akgün street, the bridge remains open for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic crossing the Göksu River.
The bridge maintained its role as a crucial crossing point for eighteen centuries, receiving multiple restorations including major works in 1870 and 1972.
