Geyve İkinci Beyazıt Köprüsü, Ottoman stone bridge in Geyve, Turkey.

The Geyve Second Beyazit Bridge stretches 196 meters across the Sakarya River with fifteen arches made of white limestone blocks.

Sultan Beyazit II commissioned the construction of this bridge in 1495, replacing an older structure to improve transportation routes in the region.

The bridge features a seven-line Arabic inscription panel within a mihrab-shaped niche, displaying traditional Ottoman architectural craftsmanship.

The structure maintains a width of 5.5 meters and continues to serve both pedestrian and vehicular traffic without any toll charges.

Only five of the original fifteen arches currently allow water flow, while the remaining sections stand over dry ground.
