Delal Bridge, Roman bridge in Zakho, Iraq.
The stone bridge extends 114 meters across the Khabur River with five smaller arches flanking one large central arch.
Built during Roman times, the structure was partially demolished in 1833 by Mir Muhammad of Rawanduz to block Ottoman forces.
The bridge carries the name Delal from a Kurdish legend about a woman sacrificed during construction to ensure its stability.
The structure rises 15.5 meters above the river level and measures 4.7 meters in width, connecting both banks of Khabur River.
The bridge walls feature large carved stones without any inscriptions, making it challenging for archaeologists to determine its exact construction date.
