Edirne İkinci Bayezid Köprüsü

The Second Bayezid Bridge spans the Tunca River with six pointed arches and measures about 100 meters in length. The stone structure shows typical features of Ottoman construction and continues to serve pedestrians and vehicles crossing the river today.

Sultan Bayezid II ordered this bridge built around 1500 to link the city center with his medical complex on the riverbank. The structure remained a key crossing point in Edirne and continues to shape the city's character.

The bridge represents Ottoman engineering methods with its stone construction techniques and distinctive pointed arch design reflecting period architecture.

The bridge is freely accessible to both pedestrians and vehicles with no entry restrictions. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can clearly see the stonework and river views.

The structure features two drainage openings beside the central arch, which has a span of about 10 meters as the widest section. These openings reveal how builders managed water flow and flood risks.
