Gorgopotamos bridge, Railway bridge in Gorgopotamos, Greece
The steel and stone railway bridge spans 211 meters across a deep gorge, connecting the slopes of Mount Oiti at a height of 30 meters.
Constructed in 1905 by engineer Agostino Tacconi from Palermo, the bridge served as a vital transportation link between Athens and Thessaloniki.
The bridge stands as a monument to Greek resistance after local fighters and British commandos executed Operation Harling on November 25, 1942.
Visitors reach the bridge through the Old National Lamia-Athens Highway and local roads that lead to the village of Gorgopotamos.
During the 1964 commemoration ceremony, an unexploded mine from the Greek Civil War detonated, resulting in 13 casualties.
