Kemere Bridge

The single-arch stone bridge extends across a channel of the Black Sea, connecting the mainland with Boztepe Island through a 35-meter span.

Engineers of the Byzantine Empire constructed this crossing point during the ninth century, concurrent with the development of Amasra Castle.

The bridge forms a central element of Amasra's maritime heritage, establishing connections between different neighborhoods of this Black Sea settlement.

Recent dredging operations beneath the bridge structure have created a navigable waterway, enabling the passage of maritime vessels through the channel.

The Bartin governorate maintains the bridge through careful repairs to its abutments, preserving the original stone architecture while ensuring continued functionality.
