Eurymedon Bridge

The Eurymedon Bridge spans 259 meters across the Köprüçay River with nine arches constructed from massive stone blocks and iron reinforcements.

The Romans built the original bridge in the 4th century, which the Seljuks later reconstructed in the 13th century using materials from the ancient structure.

Stone inscriptions in Greek and Arabic found during restoration work demonstrate the bridge's role in connecting different civilizations across centuries.

Located 30 kilometers from Side and 90 kilometers from Alanya, the bridge remains accessible through the D400 route with nearby public transport stops.

The medieval Seljuk reconstruction features an unusual zigzag pattern created by 90-degree bends, resulting from the displacement of ancient Roman pillars.
