Misis Bridge, Roman bridge in Yakapınar, Turkey
The stone bridge spans 133 meters across the Ceyhan River with nine arches and measures 6.5 meters in width at an elevation of 16 meters.
Emperor Flavius Julius Constantius commissioned the construction of this Roman bridge during the fourth century, followed by restoration under Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
Local narratives connect the bridge to Luqman, a figure who discovered immortality medicine but lost the recipe while crossing this structure over the Ceyhan River.
The bridge stands 27 kilometers from Adana city center, with municipal buses 581 and 596 providing regular transportation services to the location.
During medieval conflicts, rebels deliberately damaged the central section to control customs revenue from travelers using this important route between Aleppo and pilgrimage destinations.
