Kazarma Mycenaean Bridge

This 22-meter-long stone bridge features massive limestone blocks arranged in a corbel arch design across its entire structure and roadway.

Built in the 13th century BCE during the Mycenaean period, this bridge formed part of the road network connecting the ancient cities of Tiryns and Epidaurus.

The bridge represents Mycenaean engineering capabilities through its cyclopean masonry construction methods, which involved placing large stone blocks without mortar.

Located between Tiryns and Epidaurus, the bridge remains functional for vehicle traffic and can be reached via the modern road connecting these municipalities.

This structure stands as Europe's oldest preserved bridge and the world's oldest arch bridge still in continuous use since its construction.
