Konitsa bridge, Stone bridge in Konitsa, Greece

The Konitsa Bridge spans 35 meters across the Aoos River with a single arch rising 19.25 meters high above the water level.

Engineer Ziogas Frontzos constructed this stone bridge in 1870 after previous wooden structures collapsed in 1823 and subsequent years.

The bridge represents the technical expertise of local craftsmen who learned their skills at regional quarries rather than formal educational institutions.

Travelers can reach the bridge by following marked paths from Konitsa town center and cross it on foot while observing safety precautions during windy conditions.

A bell installed beneath the arch warns pedestrians of strong winds that could make crossing the narrow passage dangerous.
