Koyunbaba Bridge, Ottoman stone arch bridge in Çorum Province, Turkey

The Koyunbaba Bridge extends 250 meters across the Kızılırmak River with 15 visible arches and reaches a height of 25 meters.

Sultan Bayezid II ordered the construction of this bridge between 1485 and 1489 to support camel caravans traveling along the Silk Road.

The bridge bears the name of Seyyid Ali, a Turkish Sufi poet from Khorasan who became known as Koyunbaba in the region.

The structure underwent extensive renovation from 2014 to 2019, which included excavating eight buried arches and restoring the original stone features.

At 250 meters in length, this structure stands as the longest stone arch bridge constructed during the Ottoman period in Anatolia.
