Bridge of Platania, Stone bridge in Platania, Greece
The single-arch stone bridge spans across the river Arachtos at the border between Arta and Ioannina regions, with a 40-meter arch span.
The bridge was constructed in 1863 by stonemasons from Pyrsogianni of Konitsa, funded by Konstantinos Arvanitogiannis who contributed 30,000 grosia for its completion.
During World War II, the bridge became a symbol of resistance as ELAS and EDES forces signed an agreement here to unite against German occupation.
The bridge connects the regions of Tzoumerka with Epirus and Thessaly, serving as an essential transportation link for local communities and commerce.
The construction utilized thousands of eggs mixed with limestone to create a porcelain-like binding substance that held the stones together.
