Boğazkesen Bridge, Medieval stone bridge at Kelkit and Tozanlı rivers junction, Turkey
The bridge extends across the confluence of Kelkit and Tozanlı rivers with four stone pillars supporting its structure.
The lower sections of the bridge date from Byzantine times, while the upper portions were constructed during Seljuk and Ottoman periods.
Two crosses carved into cut stone near water level on the second pillar indicate the bridge's mixed Byzantine and Islamic architectural heritage.
The bridge served as a key crossing point on the ancient Silk Road, connecting the cities of Amasya and Niksar through mountain passages.
According to local elders, the bridge once displayed a Seljuk eagle emblem, and Sultan Selim I crossed it during his campaign to Chaldiran.
